Haris Rauf, Pakistan cricket team’s fast bowler, has accomplished the benchmark of completing his 200th international wickets at Eden Park today while playing third T20I against New Zealand.
Haris became 24th Pakistani Cricketer to notch this record in international cricket during his attempt to knock over New Zealand captain Michael Bracewell.
Right-arm strike bowler picked up another wicket in the same over and finished with impressive bowling figures of 3/29 in his allocated four overs.
Despite a blazing half-century made by Mark Chapman of New zealand, Pakistan restricted New Zealand to 204 in 19.5 overs.
This became possible by Haris Rauf efforts coupled by Abbas Afridi, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Abrar Ahmed.
Pakistan secured victory at the loss of just one wicket and 24 balls to spare.
This win was absolutely energized by a remarkable century by Hassan Nawaz and unbeaten half century of skipper Salman Agha.
