The power-hitting has not only entertained the crowd but the on-field umpire, opposition wicketkeeper also burst into laughter when Malik completed the rare feat of six sixes on six balls.
The 23-year-old Lahore-born Azam bowls off-spin. He was bowling at the wide of the crease which further saw him being conceded runs at will.
Unstoppable Malik makes things ridiculously easy when he smashed the first ball of Azam straight down the ground before dispatching next three deliveries on the on-side region while clearing his front-leg to make most of the deliveries.
However, the fifth delivery was sent to long off region before the sixth delivery was again dispatched into the on-side region.
