Babar Azam Duck: Babar Azam's poor form continues. This right-handed batsman did not even play in the qualifier match of Big Bash League. Babar could not even open his account in the important match against Perth Scorchers. He was out on the very second ball. The interesting thing is that he was stumped out on the ball of spinner Cooper Connelly. While attempting to drive Conley's ball, Babar Azam came out of the crease and missed the ball. Then Josh English blew away his stumps from behind the wicket. Babar Azam was declared out in the replay.

bad condition of babar azam

Babar Azam is in bad shape in the Big Bash League. This right-handed batsman has not been able to touch double figures 7 times out of 11 matches. Babar has scored half-centuries twice and in both he has played innings of 58 runs. Babar Azam has scored 202 runs at an average of 22.4 in the Big Bash League 2026-26. His strike rate is only 103.06. Another interesting statistic is that Babar Azam faces a lot of problems on the Perth ground. This right-handed batsman has not been able to touch double figures in Perth in his entire T20 career. He has played five T20 matches on this ground, in which he has scored only 16 runs. Meaning Babar Azam's batting average is less than 4 runs per innings in Perth.

It's a duck for Babar Azam 😳

Why is Babar not able to score runs?

Babar Azam's technique looks quite weak in Australia. This player has not only failed against pace and bounce, but he also looks uncomfortable against the spinners. The big thing is that Babar has not even tried to play openly in this entire league. Looking at the way Babar Azam is batting, it seems that Pakistan might not select him for the T20 World Cup. Pakistan's T20 team may be announced in the next few days and don't be surprised if Babar's name is not in it.
