Pakistan cricket team batter Babar Azam’s miserable form in the longest format of the game continued with his cheap dismissal in PAK vs BAN 2nd Test. After departing for a duck in the 1st innings, the former skipper only managed to score 11 runs before walking back to the pavilion. Pakistan find themselves in a precarious position on Day 4, with the side losing four wickets in the first session of the day’s play.
Babar Azam fails yet again!

The former skipper failed to fire in the 1st Test as well where Pakistan were handed a historic defeat, thanks to the Bangladesh spinners.
