Fri Mar 21 07:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Nawaz Blasts Fastest T20I Century for Pakistan, Surpassing Babar Azam’s Record
**Karachi, Pakistan** – Hasan Nawaz smashed the record for the fastest T20I century for Pakistan, achieving the feat in a stunning display against New Zealand in 2025. Nawaz reached the milestone in a mere 44 balls, leading Pakistan to a comfortable victory.
Chasing a challenging 205-run target, set by New Zealand’s 204, Pakistan achieved the seemingly impossible in just 16 overs, losing only one wicket in the process. Nawaz’s whirlwind innings eclipsed the previous Pakistan record held by Babar Azam, who scored a century off 49 balls against South Africa in 2021. Azam had also achieved a 58-ball century against New Zealand in 2023 and another in 62 balls against England in 2022. Ahmed Shehzad previously held the Pakistan record, scoring a century off 58 balls against Bangladesh in the 2014 T20 World Cup. Shehzad’s innings, however, was also unbeaten.
This incredible feat cements Nawaz’s place in Pakistan cricket history and highlights the team’s explosive batting capabilities. The match underscored Pakistan’s resilience and ability to chase down challenging targets with remarkable ease.
