    "editor1": "ICC World Cup: Former Pakistan cricketer turned commentator Ramiz Raja has stated that Pakistan skipper Babar Azam doesn\u2019t feel comfortable while facing spin bowling at the start of his innings and later advised to make a comeback with a \u2018hundred\u2019.<p>In the ICC World Cup 2023seven matches thus far, Babar has scored 216 runs at an average of 30.85 with three half-centuries to his name.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Out of seven innings, he has got out to spinners five times after being dismissed by Colin Ackermann, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Noor Ahmad, Tabraiz Shamsi, and Adam Zampa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Ramiz talking to Star Sports suggested Babar to play sweep shots to counter spinners on the turning track, \u201cIf you want to find fault in his batting, it\u2019s his batting against spin upfront when he starts the innings. He is not fluent as he is when he is facing pace, said Ramiz.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s his footwork whether it\u2019s in his mind, or whether he doesn\u2019t have too many options because he doesn\u2019t play the sweep shot. On slow pitches, you need to play the sweep shot,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Babar\u2019s struggle against spinners is a major setback for the Pakistan team in the ongoing World Cup. Ramiz feels that getting out in such a manner leads to flattering of confidence as a batter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cEvery time he has been aggressive, he\u2019s gotten out as well. Against Afghanistan, he hit a massive six and then got out just at the wrong time. So the confidence builds and it goes flat,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cAll he needs to do is work his way through to a hundred where he faces pace, spin, and feels comfortable about his role. He is not entirely out of touch, he is still middling the ball, but it\u2019s that when he begins his innings against spin, he looks just a little bit jittery,\u201d Ramiz added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pakistan with their third win of the tournament against Bangladesh by seven wickets on Tuesday have gone fifth on the points table with their semis qualification still alive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pakistan will next face New Zealand on Saturday at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n",
