Babar Azam, PAK vs AUS 2nd T20I: Pakistan's star batsman Babar Azam's form in T20 International cricket remains a matter of concern these days. Even in the ongoing T20I series against Australia, his performance has not lived up to expectations. Babar Azam also flopped in the second T20I match played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and was out cheaply. During this period, neither a four nor a six was seen from his bat, which is a big blow for Pakistan before the T20 World Cup 2026.

Babar Azam's bat did not work again

Pakistan batted first in this match and scored a good score, but Babar's start was again a flop. He was out lbw on the ball of Adam Zampa. This wicket was a blow for Pakistan, because Babar could score only 2 runs in 5 balls and his strike rate was only 40. On the other hand, in the match, players like Salman Aga and Usman Khan scored fifties and took the team to 198 runs, but the fans kept their eyes focused on the failure of Babar.

Big tension for Pakistan

The figures of Babar's last 15 T20I innings are quite disappointing. In these innings, Babar has scored a total of 310 runs, his average has been only 23.84 and the strike rate is 118.32. This figure shows that Babar, who was once one of the best batsmen in world cricket, is now struggling in the T20 format. Now continuous low scores and early dismissals have become a problem for his team. This poor form of Babar is a cause of concern for Pakistan before the T20 World Cup 2026. In the last few months, his performance in BBL and other T20 leagues has also been average. Fans are criticizing him on social media and many people are questioning his place in the team.

In the last match also, Babar Azam came to bat at number 4, but his innings was slow. Babar had scored 24 runs in 20 balls, during which he had hit one four and one six. At the same time, the strike rate was 120.
