Hassan Nawaz Smashes Century in PSL (2025)
“Hassan Nawaz Smashes Century in PSL Against Islamabad—Record-Breaking Knock! History Made & Rossouw‘s Brutal Knock—Two Centuries in One PSL Inning!”
History Created with Twin Centuries:
Rawalpindi, May 7— The HBL Pakistan Super League 2025 saw one of its most explosive and historical matches as Islamabad United took on Quetta Gladiators at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Islamabad United won the toss and decided to bowl first, hoping to gain early command. But what was witnessed was a never-to-be-forgotten exhibition of power-hitting that redefined the PSL record books.
Batting first, Quetta Gladiators amassed a record score of 264 runs, the highest in the tournament till date. The innings was driven by two brilliant centuries — one from South African sensation Rilee Rossouw and the other by Pakistan‘s new find Hassan Nawaz.
Rossouw Ignites the Fire:
Rilee Rossouw was on fire as he launched a ferocious attack on Islamabad‘s bowling unit. Playing with panache and accuracy, he reached his century in 46 deliveries, smashing boundaries and sixes with impunity. His knock set the tone for what eventually proved to be a record-breaking team score.
Hassan Nawaz’s Middle-Order Mayhem:
The fireworks didn’t end there. Coming in at the middle order, Hassan Nawaz staged an explosive display that left fans agog. He smashed a scorching century off just 45 balls, playing with authority and bravado. His strokeplay was a blend of elegance and ferocity, taking the Rawalpindi crowd by storm.
A Record for the Ages:
For the first time in PSL history, two members of the same squad made centuries during a single innings — a gargantuan achievement by Rossouw and Hassan Nawaz. Their record-breaking partnership not only broke all records but also left Islamabad‘s bowling attack demoralized to the core.
Quetta Gladiators‘ score of 264 runs presented Islamabad United with a seemingly impossible challenge and became the most debated performance of the PSL season the moment it was achieved.
