Pakistan is at 140 for 4 after 27.1 overs.
The matchup between spinners and Babar Azam is truly a tale of contention.
Babar Azam faced a challenging spell against the South African spinners, particularly Tabraiz Shamsi, who took two crucial wickets, including that of Babar himself. The question arose: why persist with the sweep shot when it wasn’t proving effective? This sentiment was echoed by many fans. Babar’s departure after reaching 50 runs led to some playful speculation about his post-match plans. Meanwhile, supporters bid him goodbye, urging him to book his tickets to Karachi airport.
Babar Azam scored 50 runs off 65 balls against South Africa while batting first. Some critics label him as a shameless stat-padder for such performances. As the innings unfolded, there was a sense that Pakistan might end up with a total around 210, given the current situation at 150-6. The match’s outcome remained uncertain, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
