Babar Azam put up another disappointing performance with the bat against Netherlands in the T20 World Cup 2026 fixture in Colombo after he got dismissed for 15 off 18 during the side’s 148-run chase. Pakistan struggled during the chase but eventually went over the line, courtesy Faheem Ashraf’s heroics in the penultimate over. Babar was caught in the deep by Kyle Klein off van der Merwe while trying to accelerate.
The right-handed batter has faced some heat for his batting performance on social media.
Pakistan lost wickets at regular intervals and were reduced to 114/7 in the 17th over. Pakistan needed 29 off 12 when Ashraf came into the rescue and won the match for the team to earn two important points.
