Babar Azam's Form Is Good Sign For Pakistan, Says Captain Salman Agha
Salman Ali Agha: After sealing the T20I series 2-1 against South Africa, Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha credited senior batter Babar Azam's fluent half-century for a four-wicket win in the series decider on Saturday.
Chasing 140, Pakistan reached the target with six balls to spare, anchored by Babar’s composed 68 off 47 balls – his first T20I half-century in 13 innings since May 2024. The right-handed batter’s return to form came at a crucial time for Pakistan, who recovered strongly after losing the opening match in Rawalpindi by 55 runs.
Babar stabilised the innings after an early setback that saw opener Saim Ayub fall for a score of zero, with the team at 8-1. He added 76 runs for the third wicket with captain Salman Ali Agha (33, 26 balls, 2x4s), guiding Pakistan past the halfway point in control. Despite a few late wickets, Usman Khan (six not out) and Faheem Ashraf (four not out) saw the hosts home comfortably.
