Former player Basit Ali is very happy with Babar Azam’s batting in the first ODI match played against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. Let us tell you that in the first ODI match played against Australia, Babar Azam had scored 37 runs in 44 balls with the help of four fours.

According to the former player, Babar Azam is very hungry for runs and he has been seen in his best performance after a long time. Babar Azam had made a very good start in this match but the Pakistani batsman was bowled on the excellent ball of Adam Zampa.

Basit Ali has shared a video on his official YouTube channel in which he said, ‘Babar Azam was looking in good form today. Today Babar was playing in top class. However, he went on the back foot against Adam Zampa and had to lose his wicket. It is good to see that Babar Azam is still hungry for runs. This very thing was missing in all formats for a long time but after so many years, he was again seen batting top class.

Babar Azam will now have to make big scores: Basit Ali

The former player further said, ‘Our people will not be happy at all with 37 runs. Everyone wants Babar Azam to score 137 runs. Similarly, Indian fans will not be happy with Virat Kohli’s inning of 70 runs because they want the experienced batsman to score 170 runs. If big players score 50 runs then it has no importance. However, this 37 runs is a very good sign that Babar will bat even better in the remaining matches.

Let us tell you that the second ODI match between these two teams will be played in Adelaide on 8 November. Both the teams would definitely like to win the upcoming match. If Pakistan wants to survive in this ODI series, then it is very important for them to win the second ODI match. Babar Azam will definitely look to score big in this match.
