Cloud of crisis on Pakistan before Champions Trophy: Babar Azam flops in tri-series

Delhi: Another match, another disappointment! Babar Azam’s poor form has continued, when he failed to score a big score in the final of the tri -series between Pakistan and New Zealand. The match was played at the National Stadium in Karachi on 14 February, Friday. In this match, Pakistan’s star player Babar Azam started walking cheaply once again.

Babur is struggling with a bad form

Babar Azam, who is considered the top batter of Pakistan, is struggling to get his form back. In this important match, he could score only 29 runs, which he faced 34 balls, and then was out.

The important moment of the match came when Nathan Smith of New Zealand dismissed him in his first over. Babur tried to drive a good-length ball directly, but he caught him backing back to the bowler’s hands. The crowd of Karachi drowned in silence when his star batter was returning to the pavilion. Once again, he could not make a good start in a big score, which made the situation even more difficult for Pakistan.
