Babar Azam Eyes Historic Feat in Cape Town ODI

Pakistan's star batsman, Babar Azam, is primed to etch his name in Cricket history, with multiple records within his reach as he takes the field in the second ODI against South Africa at Newlands in Cape Town. The stage is set for a thrilling contest, with Babar having the potential to rewrite the record books.

Notably, Babar is just 168 runs shy of surpassing Hashim Amla's record for the fastest to 6,000 ODI runs, a feat that could be achieved in just 118 innings. Meanwhile, a century in this match would see Babar equal Saeed Anwar's mark for most centuries by a Pakistani, catapulting him to the impressive feat of 20 centuries - a milestone that would place him among the top echelons of international cricket.

This performance wouldn't just be an impressive personal milestone but would also solidify Babar Azam's glowing reputation as one of Pakistan's most gifted players on the global stage. His dedication to his craft is eapecially cognizable in his calculated yet dauntless batting, as exemplified by an exquisite cover drive in the previous ODI which drew parallels with India's masterstroke apex, none other than Virat Kohli.

As Babar Azam gets set to etch his name in history books and rekindle thrill in the series, it will be pivotal to taste victory for Pakistan and put themselves on the path to victory in the series against a formidable South Africa which has been very competitive during this tour of South Africa.
