Babar Azam has failed in the ongoing third and last ODI of the series against New Zealand. In the game, he could only score four runs off 13 balls before being stumped out. Notably, for the first time in his career, he has been stumped out in all three games of the series. In the first game, he missed a Glenn Phillips delivery while being outfoxed by Ish Sodhi in the next.
In the ongoing game, Michal Bracewell outfoxed Babar and got him stumped by Tom Latham. The Pakistan skipper scored the fifties albeit being on the slower side. In this game too, he was slow to start off but his inning was cut short. Meanwhile, the fans aren’t happy with his performance in a must-win game. They took to Twitter and have been bashing him.
This is how Twitter reacted
What a brilliant knock of 4 runs with a breath taking SR of 30.
This after his match winning innings for New Zealand in 2nd odi.
What an overrated player . #BabarAzam #PakvsNZ— shivam bhanot (@shivambhanot3) January 13, 2023

Babar Azam-led Pakistan is in a solid position after early blows
Talking about the game, the home team won the toss and elected to bat first. However, they lost two wickets for 21 runs with Shan Masood bagging a duck. He was playing in place of Imam-ul-Haq. Meanwhile, the likes of Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan stitched a partnership of 154 runs for the third wicket. The latter got out to a googly from Ish Sodhi after scoring 77.
On the other hand, Zaman has reached his century at the time of writing. Notably, this is his first hundred in Asia with others coming in SENA countries (South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia). At the time of writing, the Green Brigade amassed 190/3 in 36 overs.
