Pakistan’s victory against Ireland took Babar to a new record

Pakistan Captain Babar Azam reached to the top of an illustrious list when his team claimed a seven-wicket victory over Ireland in the second T20I in Dublin on Sunday.

Babar’s side successfully chased down Irish team's decent total of 193/7 with more than three overs remaining courtesy of a 140-run partnership between Mohammad Rizwan (75*) and Fakhar Zaman (78) and it proved the record-breaking 45th T20I victory for Pakistan’s most successful T20 Captain.

According to the ICC, this victory has taken Babar beyond Uganda’s Brian Masaba for the most wins by male T20I Cricket captains and in front of former skippers in the Ilk of England’s Eoin Morgan, India’s MS Dhoni and Australia’s Aaron Finch.

Babar’s got 45 victories in 78 matches as Pakistani skipper. Pakistan and both teams will play the third and final game of the series in Dublin on Tuesday.
