00:00looking for the tire again this time Barbara Azum he is underway with a boundary in style sweet
00:11no more swing for gum again this one was fuller was looking for that in swinger wasn't there
00:19give Barbara Azum quite a bit of room to free his arms big gap between cover point timing was
00:28perfect the guy has got hundred in the last game he's not gonna miss out on those yeah that's into
00:42the gap well-placed and well-timed you know he's lost his bat and rushes back without the bat for
00:53the third run Hafiz strangely was struggling the throw had gone to the keepers end really would
01:06have been in trouble but this is good running actually the barber doesn't put his head down
01:14but Hafiz though he's the professor isn't he he's had it felt calculated no danger at all
01:26Oh Barbara Azum how good is he now and that's that's class for you really it wasn't a half
01:35volley but his balance made it such a good shot to look at I didn't see a lot of Barry Richards but
01:46he does remind me bit of Barry Richards the way he hands himself at the crease very well balanced and
01:52the ways he's so still at the crease when he's striking the ball have a look at the head position
01:56and just a push it wasn't a hard hit there's that drive off the back foot he's on he's on form running
02:06back smartly for the second that's also what you get with Barbara Azum only 23 young legs that's
02:15beautifully placed agreed it was not such a great delivery but it had to be put away that's a large
02:23fence over there through the point area for the right-hander and Barbara Azum is timing them ever
02:29so sweetly what a knock is playing yeah it was on the quicker side so the pace was there but how deep
02:39is he in his crease to nip back in this time little too short and Barbara Azum quickly onto it hasn't hit
02:48exactly right so just be a couple a couple of things has happened with that maybe space has dropped down a tad and also with that
02:59pace that movement of the wicket is slower should get a couple shut up no that's Barbara Azum who squeezes that
03:10back would have point half century number seven for Barbara Azum under pressure strike rate of 60 but
03:24Pakistan really do need him to bat till the 45th or at least backing off on the hundred he made last Friday
03:33no one in the deep it's been a long time since we saw a boundary that's a welcome one to Barbara Azum
03:45the boundary after 18 overs that's a little too short Barbara Azum in too good form to miss out
04:02now the emphasis is all on Barbara Azum he has to anchor this innings and stay till well what if not the 50th
04:10then the 49th over now that has been van der say's problem that would be for he's at a mixed bag here
04:19he's both some brilliant deliveries but also some very ordinary ones like that well Barbara is making
04:27full use of his form yes no doubt very loose it's not the first time he's ball this sort of delivery but
04:34no advantage of was taken earlier but this time all beautiful office pads up for runs it's working it off
04:49his pads quite beautifully the mystery bowler mr. dinky shot around the corner this is got such good awareness of
05:02the field where the field is gets the job done in one day cricket Barbara Azum
05:08hustle for two here you get it
05:16this is such a good innings from Barbara Azum here to absorb pressure he had to make sure that he looked
05:34after his own game lofted it finds a gap there's a useful boundary to the team total courtesy a
05:47person yeah I get the thumbs up from the captain almost enough that drive so fast he beat the feeler
05:58there the feeler was in it's a long fence we're talking about 83 85 meter fence straight down so
06:04it's in no man's land that feeler there had to turn around and chase the ball down beautiful shot
06:11really and he's using the leg side feel beautifully yet couple this time but a very good over for Sri Lanka
06:24no boundaries leaps and after 47 195 for six Barbara Azum on 97 or lakma don't gonna come back brilliant
06:38running from young shadow put that down to shut up can coming back for Barbara Azum and they're on their
06:43feet in the dressing room and here at Zion Stadium brilliant stuff from Barbara Azum he's on a roll
06:53730 100 in no time fifth consecutive one day 100 in the UAE and well he's a talented a real talent and a fine
07:03oh dear it's out what a shame I thought it had to go six or out Barbara Azum very tired stroke in the end
07:16he was looking to go long and rightly so yeah but once again and impressive and in Sri Lankan fans are
07:26on their feet a wicket for Sri Lanka this really is a long fence we're talking about an 85 meter hit and
07:33and he had to middle it clearly was tiring a slow ball had to be middle give it his best but in the end
07:43just falling short of the mark good catch mendes with a good good catch is a good pair of hands but what a
07:53story Barbara Azum in one day internationals another hundred seventh of his career 23 years of age a
08:00dynamite when it comes to talent
