0,4,4,6,25,53- Pakistani Captain Babar Azam Gets his Form back before The T20 Final
At the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 semi-final between Pakistan and New Zealand on Wednesday in Sydney, Australia. Babar Azam appeared to be returning to his graceful best. Pakistan won easily. Azam initially edged one toward the keeper before being saved. His third-century partnership with opening partner Mohammad Rizwan was built after that, and he never looked back.
At the T20 World Cup, Babar Azam has drawn a lot of flak for his subpar performances. He appeared outdated and was never at his most refined. Azam did, however, regain some of his composure in the last Super 12 game against Pakistan, recording his first double-digit score of the competition.
There have even been calls for Babar to drop down the batting order so that youngster Mohammad Haris might start the match with Rizwan. Prior to the game, Pakistan’s head coach Matthew Hayden did, however, declare that Pakistan would continue to support their star opening pair. The confidence paid off because Babar and Rizwan prevented New Zealand from taking the initiative. They achieved a century stand while hitting the ball hard and rotating their strikes, reaching their fifty-partnership during the powerplay before Babar was removed for 53. Rizwan continued to stand and made it to fifty before being replaced with 57. However, Pakistan had already secured a victory.
