Center text (vertically/horizontally) with tailwind

Question

I created a little card, which should have a number on the left side. I solved this - but there is one little thing I could not solve until now.

This number should be horizontally and vertically centered.

This is what I did: https://codepen.io/spqrinc/pen/jOEraJx

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/tailwindcss/1.1.2/tailwind.min.css">
<div class="md:flex lg:w-1/2 p-2">
  <div class="md:flex-1 rounded-sm shadow-lg text-gray-600 bg-white rounded-sm shadow-lg">
    <div class="overflow-hidden w-full flex leading-normal lg:h-full">
      <div class="sm:w-1/3 lg:w-1/4 bg-teal-600 block">
        <div class="text-center text-6xl font-bold text-white">1</div>
      </div>
      <p class="text-gray-600  sm:w-2/3 lg:w-3/4 p-4">

      </p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Unfortunately, content-center did not work out for me.

The important part is the flex items-center justify-center instead of block in the fourth div.
