Babar Azam Great Asset

Babar Azam almost took Pakistan to their 2nd T20 World Cup in Australia. There’s no doubt that Babar has some fine leadership as he is someone who stands behind his bowler. Babar though would be hoping that he accelerates a bit in the T20s as his strike rate has been an issue. The batter needs to up the ante and makes sure that he rotates the strike consistently rather than playing a string of dot balls.

Peshawar Zalmi would be hoping that Babar Azam helps the team to cross the finish line as each season they are showing potential but failing in crunch situations of the match. It would be interesting to see how the season fares for Babar Azam & Peshawar Zalmi as Peshawar fans would be hoping for a 2nd title.
