After Pakistan clinched the One-day International series over South Africa last weekend, Hesson had predicted that Babar would soon get a big score. Six days later, Babar obliged by ending an 83-inning century drought across all formats by scoring an unbeaten 102 to guide Pakistan to yet another ODI series triumph as the hosts coasted to an eight-wicket victory in the second game of their series against Sri Lanka at the Pindi Cricket Stadium.
