Babar Azam came at number three, who took forward the innings. However, chasing the big score, he was expected to take care of the strike rate.

Covered half -century in 65 balls

Babar Azam played 65 balls to complete the half -century. He was dismissed in significant time when he was expected to score at a fast pace. Will Oraurke dismissed him in the 39th over. When Babur was out, Pakistan needed 96 runs in 68 balls. Although Azam played a good innings, he could not finish the match. After this, the last 6 wickets fell within just 22 runs.
