Babar has had some success in international games as well

In a match between Multan Tigers and Quetta Bears in Lahore, the wily left-arm spinner, Zulfiqur Babar returned astonishing figures to set up a huge win for the Tigers.

Batting first, the Bears were bowled out for a meagre 72 as Babar picked up two crucial wickets while giving absolutely nothing away in one of the tidiest spells of the tournament and in the history of T20s. Babar bettered the best economy rate in a T20 game with his stunning display.

He finished with figures pretty similar to what Malik would get next year, 4-2-3-2, although he did pick up an additional wicket. The Bears were too stunned to put up a fight as the Tigers won by 10 wickets.
