Mohammad Rizwan, his batting partner in the Pakistan team, is second on the list with 470 runs on the board and one more match to go. If he plays an innings of at least 30 odd runs, Rizwan will become only the second batsman in the history of the tournament to reach the 500-run milestone in a single edition.
Besides this, Azam is also the highest run-getter in the tournament’s history, with 2,017 runs in 55 innings. He is followed by Peshawar Zalmi’s seasoned batsman, Kamran Akmal, who has 1763 runs in 65 innings to his name.
