Babar Azam out for 2. (Photo Credits: X)
Pakistan batter Babar Azam had a forgettable day at the office after he was dismissed for 2 off 5 by Adam Zampa in the second T20I of the series in Lahore. Babar was trapped in front of the stumps by the leggie on the first delivery of the 8th over.
After opting to bat, Pakistan lost Sahibzada Farhan in the second over for 5 off 5.
Opener Saim Ayub was then joined by captain Salman Ali Agha and the two came together to provide the resistance. The two stitched a partnership of 55 runs for the second wicket before Ayub eventually departed for 23 off 11.
While the captain continued his form, Babar was the third one to go back in the hut leaving the team struggling at 76/3.
Pakistan lead the series 1-0 while this is the second time on the trot when Zampa has dismissed Babar.
âYou took the wicket of premier Pakistan batter Babar Azam. So how is your feelling now?â a reporter asked Zampa after the first game.
âYeah, he is a very good player for a long time, but⊠yeah⊠I mean⊠Itâs not the first time I have got him out. I hope itâs not the last but itâs always good to get big wicket. Itâs what I am in team for.â
The Pakistan batter has been dismissed by the spinner 5 times in 10 innings and averages only 15.6 in front of him.
Babarâs form is surely a concern for the Pakistan team management especially if he bats at number four in the T20 World Cup 2026. While Sahibzada Farhan is struggling at the top, Azamâs lean patch can create more troubles for Pakistan in the marquee event.
