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.

Babar Azam could not score a century in the last 71 innings

Babar Azam has played 25 ODIs since the World Cup 2023, during which he has scored 873 runs. His average was 39.68. Azam scored his last international century in the Asia Cup 2023, the match played on 30 August was with the Nepal cricket team. Since then, Azam has played in 71 innings of 63 matches but has not been able to score centuries, in which his highest score was 81.

Former captain of Pakistan cricket team Babar Azam has been dismissed on the score of ‘Zero’. The Pak team is currently on a West Indies tour, where the second ODI match was played between them on August 10. Babar Azam could not even open his account in this ODI match. In this match played at Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad, Pakistan got the first batting invitation, in which Babur came to bat on number-3, but he was out on the score of ‘0’ by playing 3 balls.

Babar Azam came to batting when opener Sam Job was dismissed for 23 runs in the 9th over. By this time, Pakistan’s score was 37/1. Jayden had taken Job’s wicket on the third ball of the seals over and after three balls he made Babar Azam clean. This is the fifth time in the career of 130 ODI innings when Babur was out without opening an account.

Return to Asia Cup squad is difficult

The Asia Cup 2025 is going to begin soon, which will start from 9 September and will run till 28 September. This tournament is to be played in T20 format, but Babur has been kept out of the Pak team from the last four T20 series. On the one hand, Babar Azam will be expecting a return to the T20 team, but being dismissed on the score of ‘0’ will not prove to be at all helpful in impressing the selectors.

Old babar azam would’ve flicked that ball for four but this babar just got bowled like a walking wicket. Sad !!pic.twitter.com/jtqix8ivpk

Saim Ayub’s stormy half -century

After winning the toss, the Pakistan team came out to bat first and scored a strong score of 179 at the loss of 7 wickets. The team’s young opener Saim Ayub gave the team a great start by scoring more than 50 runs.

Pakistan scored 58 runs in the last 31 balls, which included the innings of Hasan Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Haris.

Spinners overturned

The West Indies had a brilliant start and added 50 plus runs without losing wickets in the powerplay, but after that Pakistan’s spinners took the front and performed superb bowling.

Mohammad Nawaz took three wickets for only 23 runs in four overs and broke the back of the Caribbean middle order.

All -rounder Saim Ayub took two wickets while performing brilliantly in bowling after batting.

Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi took one wicket for 27 runs in 4 overs.

West Indies again collapsed expectations

Chasing the target, the innings of the West Indies was reduced to 165 runs at the loss of 8 wickets. In the last over, Jason Holder scored 30 runs in 12 balls with the help of four sixes, but by then it was too late.

The result is not just 14 runs, the strategy wins

When is the next match?
