Babar Azam’s struggles against India continued in Pakistan’s T20 World Cup Group A clash on Sunday, February 15 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. With Pakistan chasing 176, he managed just five runs off seven balls before falling to Axar Patel. In six T20Is against India, Babar has scored only 110 runs at an average of 22 and a strike rate of 123.59.

Babar came in at No.4 with Pakistan reeling at 6 for 2 in 1.2 overs after Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub fell in quick succession. Salman Agha’s dismissal to Jasprit Bumrah soon left Pakistan at 13 for 3 after two overs, and Babar was soon outfoxed by Axar Patel.
Axar delivered a perfectly angled, flatter ball that left little room for the right-hander. Attempting a wild slog across the line, Babar missed completely, and his middle stump was sent cartwheeling. Axar celebrated as the stumps fell, leaving Pakistan rattled and struggling to regain composure in a high-pressure contest.
