ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s captain for all three formats Babar Azam Thursday hoped to carry forward the momentum into the fourth T20I amid similar Centurion conditions which, he said, were good enough to bring out the best from the top-order.
In a virtual talk following an empathic display of exciting cricket that saw Pakistan racing to nine-wicket win in the third T20I, Babar said he wanted his charges to carry forward the same momentum going into the fourth and final T20 today (Friday).
“The series outcome depends on the fourth T20’s result. We are looking forward to continue with the same tempo which we have shown in the third T20. Hopefully, you would see the best from Pakistan players in the final game against South Africa.”

Electronic musician Lilstiffy has returned to Whanganui from Tokyo and he s brought a new album, Ecma, with him.
The Lilstiffy project began in Wellington in 2014, he said. It started with making beats and working with rappers, and running regular club nights. I got sick of Wellington and decided to move to Tokyo, and I pretty much did the same thing there, playing a lot of club nights and organising shows. I was working away and doing my thing, and I lived over there for about three years.
