All-rounder Abdul Razzaq hopes the breathtaking century which earned his team a thrilling one-wicket win against South Africa will lift Pakistan cricket and silence the critics back home.

"I hope that this win will lift the gloom around our cricket, lift team's morale which had dipped because of the recent controversies and defeats," Razzaq said after hitting a 72-ball 109 in the second one-day on Sunday.
