Delhi: Pakistan cricket team is currently on a tour of New Zealand, where they suffered 4–1 defeat in the T20 series of five matches. Now the ODI series is going to start from March 29. Star batsman Babar Azam was not included in the T20 series, but he is part of the ODI team. Babur’s performance in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was not as expected. In such a situation, now he will try to prove himself against New Zealand.
Opportunity to back down Saeed Anwar
In the ODI format, Babur has scored 19 centuries in 128 matches for Pakistan so far. He is in second place after former Pakistan veteran opener Saeed Anwar (20 centuries) in this case. If Babur scored two centuries in the upcoming series against New Zealand, then he will become the highest number of players in ODI cricket for Pakistan. To reach this point, he will have to perform brilliantly in all three matches.
Significantly, Babar Azam made his debut in ODI cricket in 2015 and since then he has remained an integral part of the Pakistan team. He has so far scored 6106 runs in 128 ODIs, including 19 centuries and 35 half -centuries. Apart from this, he has scored 4235 runs in Test cricket and 4223 runs in T20 International.
Babar Azam is one of the biggest stars of Pakistan cricket and the team has seen many ups and downs under his captaincy. However, he is no longer captain, but is known for his brilliant batting, but right -handed batter is currently going through a very poor form.
