Saim’s century is behind legendary all-rounder Shahid Afridi.

The Pakistani young cricketer made history by scoring his maiden century in the second match of the three-match ODI series against Zimbabwe.

The 22-year-old could not show an impressive performance in the first match but made a brilliant comeback in the second match and completed his first ODI century in just 53 balls.

He hit 16 fours and 3 sixes during his innings, and laid the foundation for the Green Shirts’ comeback in the series. His lightning-fast innings not only took him to a personal milestone but also made him the third fastest ODI century for Pakistan after Shahid Afridi.

Saim Ayub’s smoky innings earned him a place in the record books, where he joined Afridi, who is in the top three places in the fastest centuries by Pakistani batsmen.

His brilliant century was part of Pakistan s bid to win the second match and stay in the series. His performance has highlighted him as a rising star in Pakistan s ODI cricket.

Saim Ayub made his international debut in March 2023, and his performance in this match has proven that he has the potential to be a game-changer for the Pakistan cricket team in both formats.
