Abdul Razzaq 109 not out off 72 v South Africa in Abu Dhabi 2010

Score on arrival: 136 for 5, chasing 287

Final score: 289 for 9, won by 1 wicket with 1 ball to spare

Abdul Razzaq smashed ten sixes, Pakistan razed 150 off the last 20 overs to come back from the dead, numbers which look normal in 2018, but were truly remarkable for the time.

Razzaq arrived in a position below the rest on this list, at the fall of the seventh wicket, and hit six sixes in the last four overs, all while batting with Wahab Riaz and Saeed Ajmal, Pakistan's numbers 10 and 11

For perspective, Pakistan's last four batsmen were dismissed for single figures, while Razzaq did his thing at the other end.

Kamran Akmal smashed 4 fours and 12 maximums

12 – His 12 sixes are the most in a Twenty20 innings by a Pakistan player surpassing 10 sixes by Bilal Asif in 2015 for Sialkot Stallions against Faisalabad Falcons.

Ahmed Shehzad 2nd Pakistani to score 5000 runs in T20 cricket

Earlier this year, Shoaib Malik became Pakistan’s highest run-getter in T20Is. And just a couple of months later, flamboyant Pakistani opener Ahmed Shehzad achieved the feat on Thursday.

It was a reason for double jubilation as the batsman reached the milestone of 5,000 runs in T20 cricket on the occasion of his birthday. The right-hander reached this milestone with an innings of 27 against Rawalpindi for Lahore, on his 26th birthday to become the second Pakistani to achieve the feat.

On This Day - Pakistan first Test series win against Australia in the last 20 years

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq says: 'It is a really special series. Every individual performed and that is a sign of a good team. It really felt great and I can't describe the feeling (on winning the Master Blaster award). It is really great to be here. Everybody was determined and they were really working hard. We were playing good cricket but we were not winning the games. We thought that we just needed to keep the basics right.
The way all the players worked and the way we came back, it has been very good. It is really good to have a leg-spinner like Yasir Shah. He has a really good temperament and handles the pressure. Azhar Ali and Ahmed Shehzad, these guys are going to play even after 7-8 years. It is really important for us to perform well against New Zealand and carry the form.'

they won the two Tests in the UAE by 221 and 356 runs, the latter, in Abu Dhabi, being their biggest ever win. Lots of awards for Pakistan's players, including "most colourful innings" to Azhar Ali. The big ones: Misbah-ul-Haq is the man of the match and Younis Khan is the man of the series.

A Convincing victory for Australia their game with India will be a huge one

Pakistan Team World T20 Qualification scenarios

 

 GROUP 2

Pakistan (Points 2; NRR +0.254)

Pakistan started off with a brilliant performance with the bat at Kolkata against Bangladesh but fell off against arch rivals India and then against New Zealand. Their current net run rate of +0.254 is ahead of Australia, Bangladesh and India.

Matches left:

vs Australia, Mohali, 25 March 2016

Qualification scenarios:

- If they lose against Australia on Friday they are out of contention for the semifinals.

- If they win, they have to hope India loses at least one of their remaining matches to stay in contention. If they beat Australia and India lose against Bangladesh or Australia, they would end up in a three-way tie depending on how the results go in other three games and net run rate will be the decider. If India lose both their remaining games, they would be in a two-way tie with Australia or a three-way tie with Bangladesh and Australia depending on the outcome of New Zealand - Bangladesh game.

New Zealand won again to enter semi-finals
