Akshar bowled Babar Azam
Colombo: Pakistan’s hopes have suffered a huge blow in the high-voltage match being played against India. The team’s star batsman and former captain Babar Azam has returned to the pavilion cheaply. A big innings was expected from Babar, who is considered a big player in Pakistan, in this great match, but he looked completely helpless in front of Akshar Patel.

Akshar Patel tempted and out

Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav launched a spin attack in the powerplay itself and Axar Patel proved his captain’s faith right. Babar was completely beaten by a brilliant ball from Akshar’s over and the ball hit his stumps directly. This magical ball of Akshar not only bowled Babar but also gave a chance to thousands of Indian fans present in the stadium to celebrate.

7 balls and only 5 runs

Babar Azam’s bat remained completely silent in this important match. He faced only 7 balls in his innings and could score only 5 runs. Pakistan expected that Babar would play a long innings by handling one end, but his early departure has put huge pressure on the Pakistani team. Babar bowled a flight ball to Akshar, which turned and came inwards. Babar could not read it and went to play slog sweep. Due to being beaten on this, he became bowled.

continuous failures

Babar Azam’s form in the T20 format has been a matter of concern for the Pakistani team. He was included in the team during the Australian series before this tournament. But he has not been able to do anything special since then. Apart from his 46-run innings against USA, he has not done anything special yet. Especially against big teams, they often surrender.
