\n\nOmarzai walked out to bat at number six with Afghanistan in deep trouble at 5-4 but made 116 runs in just 50 balls in a knock that included five boundaries and six sixes while coming at a strike rate of 232. He reached his century in only 44 balls as the Asian team posted 221 on the board.
\n\nOmarzai is the first player in history to score a century from number six or below in a T20I match for a Test-playing nation. The record was previously held by Sam Billings, who made 87 runs for England against the West Indies at Warner Park in Basseterre.
