 Back-to-back centuries for Babar Azam! This guy is special! Terrific knock once again from him and he just keeps on piling runs under his belt. His 16th ODI century. The crowd is going bonkers and Azam raises his bat and soaks all the applause. Gets a standing ovation from his teammates in the dressing room. Gets to the milestone by thrashing this full ball to sweeper cover for a brace. He punches the air in delight. What a moment for him and what a series is he having. Thanks the almighty as well and does the 'sajda'. Gets a warm hug from Imam-ul-Haq as well. Simply amazing!
