Babar Hayat scores a T20I century off 50 balls in Asia Cup!

[Gotham Cronie]

What an innings this 24 year old is playing for Hong Kong vs Oman in the Asia Cup Qualifier!

Chasing 180, Hong Kong fell to 133/6, requiring 45 off the last 3 overs.

4 Sixes in the 18th over by Hayat leads him to his T20I century off 50 balls!

Amazing knock, but looks like he couldn't pull it off in the last two overs.

 

[Suleiman]

Can we poach him?

sounds like a pakistani name

 

[Gotham Cronie]

4th highest T20I score of all time

Born in Attock like many other HK cricketers

He's a great talent.One of the players responsible for HK redemption in cricket.Before people say that he is not a real HKian,He moved to HK before turning 18

And before you point to it being against Oman, ask yourself how many Pakistani batsmen you see scoring 122 off 60 balls vs Oman.

Right now?

Hafeez, Shehzad, Umar Akmal, Malik(If couple of wickets fall early)

Great to see a player from my city Attock performing! IIRC there was a time when 3/4 players from Attock played in same 11 for Hong Kong because many people from Attock live in Hong Kong and UK. There is even a Attock cricket club in UK (Birmingham).

You honestly see Hafeez, Shehzad, or Shoaib Malik hitting 122 off 60 balls?

 

[chiku]

vs Oman? Definetely

 

[Dr_Bassim]

vs Oman? Definetely

Pakistani performances are irrespective of territorial discrimination.

We have a ceiling of 250-300 in ODI and 150-170 in T20I.

You could add Uganda and that's the score we will get.

 

[Gotham Cronie]

In comes Babar Hayat. Let's see if he can make an impression here.

 

[Abdullah719]

Might be the other way around today.

 

[Abdullah719]

Nevermind, he's out.
