Pakistan cricket star Babar Azam thrilled to play a World XI at home

Pakistan beat the World XI by 20 runs in an exciting finish to the first Twenty20 match in Lahore, celebrating the return of international cricket to the country amid tight security.

The World XI finished with 177 with Darren Sammy and skipper Faf du Plessis scoring 29 each. For Pakistan Sohail Khan, Shadab Khan and Rumman Raees took two wickets apiece. Babar Azam said he enjoyed the huge crowd support at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium. (Video: SNTV)
