Babar Azam became just the eighth batsman in one-day cricket to smash hundreds in three consecutive matches with a superb 106-ball 117 to lead Pakistan to 308-6 after Ali won the toss and decided to bat first

Babar Azam is only the third batsmen from Pakistan and eighth in the world to notch three hundreds in as many matches

Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara holds the record with four centuries in as many games.

  • Pakistan's Zaheer Abbass and Saeed Anwar
  • South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs, AB de Villiers and Quinton de Kock, and 
  • New Zealand's Ross Taylor 
 are others to achieve the milestone.
