Babar Azam was not a part of Pakistan’s T20 team for the last one year, he was not even in the Asia Cup. He got a chance in the T20 series against South Africa, he returned to this format after a year but he flopped miserably in the first match. He ducked out after playing 2 balls.

Batting first, South Africa gave Pakistan a target of 195. Pakistan’s openers Sahibzada Farhan and Sam Ayub made a partnership of 31 runs for the first wicket. Sahibzada (24) was bowled by Lizad Williams in the fifth over. After this Babar Azam came, Pakistan expected that the experienced batsman, who was returning to T20 after a year, would play important innings, but it did not happen.

Babar Azam out on zero

Babar Azam was caught out on the third ball of the last over of the powerplay. Corbin Bosch got him caught out by Reza Hendricks. While today he had a chance to create history, Babar needs only 9 more runs to become the highest run-scorer in T20, behind only Rohit Sharma in the list.

Disappointed in fielding also

Babar Azam also disappointed his fans with his fielding during South Africa’s batting. On the fourth ball of the 17th over bowled by Shaheen Shah Afridi, Linde hit a shot in front, the ball was in the air and Babar Azam standing in front could have taken an easy catch but he missed the catch. Captain Salman Ali Aga also looked very angry on this.

Batting first, South Africa scored 194 runs losing 9 wickets in 20 overs. Opener Reza Hendricks had scored 60 runs in 40 balls with the help of 1 six and 5 fours. Quinton de Kock scored 23 runs in 13 balls and Tony De Jorji scored 33 runs in 16 balls. In the end, George Linde played an important inning of 36 runs in 22 balls. Mohammad Nawaz took the most wickets for Pakistan, he took 3 wickets. Sam Ayub got 2 wickets. Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah and Abrar Ahmed got 1 wicket each.

In the second ODI affected by the rain, the West Indies cricket team defeated Pakistan by 5 wickets to equal the series 1-1, now the third match series will be a decisive match. Babar Azam’s poor form continued in this match as well, he could not even open the account. The entire Pakistan team was able to score 171 runs in 37 overs. Under the Duckworth Lewis Rules, the West Indies had a target of 181 in 35 overs to win, which the team achieved with 10 balls.

The West Indies won the toss and decided to bowl first. Saim Ayub and Abdula Shafiq shared a 37 -run partnership for the first wicket, Ayub (23) was dismissed by Zayden Seals. After this, he bowled Babar Azam on a brilliant yorker ball. Could not even understand this ball, he was left watching the ball and his wicket flew away. Playing 3 balls, he returned to the pavilion at zero.

Babar Azam used to give knowledge to Virat Kohli, now a shameful record recorded himself

After his bad form, Babar Azam has dropped several times from T20, there is also suspense on playing in Asia Cup 2025. Not just T20, their bat is not going on continuously in any format. When Azam returned after being dropped from the Test in October last year, he could not even touch the double figure 4 times in 8 innings. He was a bit better in ODIs, but now it is also seen in a bad form.

Babar Azam, who has once given Virat Kohli on his bad form, is now going through a bad phase. After being dismissed for zero against the West Indies, he came second in an unwanted record list. In the last 10 years, he has come second among the batsmen who have been dismissed for zero most times in ODIs in the last 10 years. He has been dismissed for a total of 5 times.
