Babar Azam record against Spin: Babar Azam’s string of ‘failures’ shows no signs of ending. After being dropped from the Test team, Babar has made a comeback in the ODI series against Australia. The first match was played in Melbourne, in which the Pakistan team, playing first, scored 203 runs. It was expected that after taking a break, Babar would be in a good mental state and score big, but this time too he was out after scoring 37 runs. Now this is the first time in the last five years that Babar Azam has been clean bowled against a spin bowler.
In the first ODI match against Australia, Babar Azam’s wicket fell in the 18th over. He was clean bowled by Adam Zampa on the score of 37 runs. Babar was playing in a composed style and was constantly changing strikes. But in the 18th over, Adam Zampa’s ball remained a little low, which Babar could not read and was clean bowled. Babar was clean bowled against a spin bowler five years ago. In the year 2019, in the match against Afghanistan, Mohammad Nabi had scattered Babar’s balls.
Babar thrashes Australia
Babar Azam loves to beat Australian bowlers especially in ODI matches. So far, he has batted in 11 innings against the Kangaroo team, in which he has 643 runs in his name including 3 centuries and 2 half-centuries. His ODI average against Australia is 64.3. It is unfortunate that Babar has never been able to score big at the Melbourne Stadium. In this ground, Babar has been able to score only 134 runs in total in 7 innings of Test, ODI and T20 matches. Host Australia has won the first ODI by 2 wickets, while now the second ODI match will be played in Adelaide on 8th November.
