‘Tip Your Hat Off To Nawaz, He Was Unbelievable” NZ Skipper Bracewell Applauds Record-breaking Ton

By IANS News March 21, 2025 • 17:16 PM View: 921

Salman Ali Agha: New Zealand captain Michael Bracewell tipped his hat off to Hasan Nawaz for his unbelievable batting after the right-hander scored Pakistan’s fastest-ever T20I century to help his side chase down 205 with 24 balls to spare in the third T20I at Eden Park on Friday.

The 22-year-old made his debut in the ongoing series and was dismissed for two consecutive ducks but announced himself on the international stage with a 44-ball century, breaking Babar Azam’s previous record.

Bracewell contributed a quickfire 31-run cameo in the first innings, whilst Michael Chapman’s blistering 94 propelled the Black Caps to 204 before they were bundled out on the penultimate delivery. The all-rounder also claimed it is criminal to not play out the innings in T20Is.
