Babar Azam’s struggles continued as Pakistan faced New Zealand in the Tri-Nation Series Final at the National Stadium, Karachi. The former captain once again failed to capitalize on his start, scoring just 29 runs off 34 balls before being dismissed by Nathan Smith in the 12th over. His early departure put Pakistan in a difficult position, further igniting debates over his form and batting position.

Fans React as Babar Falls Yet Again
Babar Azam’s move to the opening slot has not yielded the desired results, with his form witnessing a major dip. Following his latest failure, frustrated fans took to social media to slam both Babar and the PCB for persisting with an experiment that has seemingly backfired.
Twitter was flooded with brutal reactions, as some questioned his place in the team, while others mocked him for his continued poor performances. Many also pointed out that Babar’s best performances came while batting at No.3, and his promotion to opener has disrupted his rhythm.
