Babar Azam’s poor form continues, leaving the Pakistan cricket team and fans disappointed. Pakistan had a tough start to their two-match Test series against Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Wednesday, August 21.
After being asked to bat first, Pakistan’s plan to prepare a flat green pitch backfired. The team lost three crucial wickets for just 16 runs in Rawalpindi.
Babar Azam Out for Zero as Bangladesh Dominates in Rawalpindi Test
Hasan Mahmud dismissed Pakistani opener Abdullah Shafique for just two runs. Then, Shoriful Islam became the nightmare for Pakistan’s current and former captains in the first Test in Rawalpindi.
Shoriful Islam first took down Pakistan captain Shan Masood for just six runs. Shortly after, he sent Babar Azam back for a duck. Babar tried to hit a short ball but only managed to edge it, leading to a stunning one-handed diving catch by Litton Das.
The umpire immediately raised his finger, and Babar had to walk off with 0 runs from 2 balls, leaving Pakistan in a difficult spot in the ongoing Test against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi. Fans heavily criticized Babar on social media for his performance.
