Belgium's Captain Shaheryar Butt Achieves A Rare T20I Double
T20 cricket is a funny game, while teams like England and Pakistan couldn't complete the match in a day, a team like Belgium played two complete T20I matches on the same day.
Moving on, it was a memorable day for Belgium's captain Shaheryar Butt who made it own by achieving a rare double.
Shaheryar Butt becomes the first-ever man cricketer to score a fifty and a hundred on the same day in the history of T20I cricket.
On August 29 (Saturday), in a match against Luxembourg, Butt scored unbeaten 81 off 45 balls, and later on, in the day, he hammered 125* off 50 balls against the Czech Republic.
Previously, Afghanistan's Mohammed Shahzad had made two fifties on the same day in two T20I matches and was the first man to achieve this feat.
