Babar Azam played his debut match in Big Bash League today, but it was a flop. Babar, who opened for Sydney Sixers, was out after scoring only 2 runs. He played 5 balls and had a narrow escape in the other 2 balls also. His team also lost this match.

Perth Scorchers won the toss and decided to bowl first. Daniel Hughes and Babar Azam started the innings for Sydney Sixers. Sydney did not have a good start, Hughes was out in the very first over off the bowling of Aaron Hardy. He could not even open the account, the last ball of the over went to Babar Azam, which he defended.

Babar Azam out after scoring 2 runs in debut match

Babar Azam defended the fifth ball of the second over. Joel Paris bowled the next ball on wicket length, on which Babar Azam hit. The ball went in the air and fell a short distance away from the fielder. This could have been a catch. On the fourth ball of the third over bowled by Couch, Babar Azam tried to hit a big shot using his steps, but the ball went in the air and fell between the two fielders. He survived once again. Babar ran on this ball and took 2 runs.

Babar Azam was out after hitting a lap shot

Looking at Babar Azam, it did not seem that he is such a big batsman, he was just playing lap shots on every ball. That means he was just swinging the bat. Babar bowled a similar shot on the fifth ball of the third over bowled by Brody Couch, on which he was caught out.

Batting first in this match of 11 overs due to rain, Sydney Sixers scored 113 runs for 5 wickets. Jack Edwards played a good inning of 46 runs in 21 balls. Earlier, Josh Philip had scored 28 runs in 18 balls.

Perth Scorchers achieved the target of 114 with 5 balls remaining. Cooper Connolly scored 59 runs in 31 balls with the help of 5 sixes and 3 fours.
