Afghanistan leg-spinner Rashid Khan on Friday broke Lasith Malinga’s long-standing record to become the fastest bowler to pick 100 wickets in T20 international cricket but his efforts with the ball went in vain as they couldn’t get over the line against Pakistan in their World Cup Super 12 clash.

Veteran Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez became Rashid’s 100th T20I victim in his 53rd innings.

Former Sri Lankan fast bowler Lasith Malinga had held the previous record by completing his century in 76 matches ahead of New Zealand seamer Tim Southee (82) and Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan (83). They are also the only four bowlers to bag 100 wickets in the shortest format of international cricket.

AFG vs PAK, T20 World Cup 2021: Highlights | Report

Rashid now holds the rare double record of being the fastest bowler to pick 100 wickets in ODIs and T20Is. He achieved the feat in the 50-over format in his 44th match in 2018.

Rashid bagged the wickets of Hafeez and Babar Azam but was still unable to stop Pakistan from completing a 5-wicket win in Dubai.

Pakistan gunned down the target of 148 with 6 balls to spare after riding on Babar (51), Asif (25 not out) and Fakhar Zaman’s (30) to consolidate their position on top of Group 2.

The win also helped Pakistan stretch their unbeaten record in the UAE to 14 T20Is and brought an end to Afghanistan’s 17-match winning streak in the country. The victory was also Pakistan’s 14th in a row in T20Is in the United Arab Emirates.

Having beaten India and New Zealand in their first two matches, Pakistan are effectively in the last four with clashes against minnows Namibia and Scotland remaining.
