Pakistan team’s T20 World Cup journey has ended. That means Babar Azam’s team could not make it to the Super 8. Pakistan’s dream of reaching the Super 8 was shattered when the USA vs Ireland match was cancelled due to rain. But there would have been no situation of depending on someone else’s match if they had not lost their match against USA.

It is worth noting that Pakistan faced America in the ongoing tournament and a match which was already won slipped out of their hands. After this, the team was criticized a lot. If they lost the match against India, then their exit from the tournament was almost certain. Meanwhile, former Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Hafeez has blamed Babar Azam for the defeat.

Babar Azam also flopped in batting

In the ODI World Cup last year, Babar Azam scored 320 runs in 9 matches. After which he faced a lot of criticism. In this T20 World Cup 2024, Babar Azam has scored only 120 runs in 4 matches, that too at a strike rate of 101.

Mohammad Hafeez believes that Babar Azam is going to be in big trouble and his captaincy can also be taken away. Hafeez feels that only Babar Azam can answer why he did not perform.

“I feel bad for Babar Azam. Such a drop in form for a quality player like him is a matter of concern. And only Babar Azam can answer this. Has his captaincy affected his performance?”

“I want him to become the highest run-scorer for Pakistan and he has that potential. When it comes to bilateral series, Babar is at the top, but in ICC competition he is way down. So such a big drop in form is a matter of concern and only Babar can answer it or maybe someone else.”

Babar Azam has to answer for his form and the defeat of the Pakistan team, which will be very difficult.
