In the second Twenty20 International against the Blackcaps, Babar—who recently lost his captaincy due to Pakistan's dismal performance in the ODI World Cup—reached a significant milestone. Babar became the first player from Pakistan to score nine thousand runs in international cricket away from home, and he was the fifth overall. Babar needed 29 more runs to reach his feat of 8971 runs in 205 matches across all formats. Following Pakistan's powerplay in the second innings of their run chase, the former captain arrived there. Babar, who resumed his previous position in the format, came in at number three. He got off to a respectable start, hitting a couple of fours, before eventually reaching the milestone in Ish Sodhi's seventh over.
