Babar Azam’s Disappointing Performance Sparks Social Media Roast

Pakistan’s cricket captain, Babar Azam, faced severe criticism on social media following his underwhelming performance in the ODI World Cup 2023 match against the Netherlands.

Pakistan’s cricket captain, Babar Azam, faced severe criticism on social media following his underwhelming performance in the ODI World Cup 2023 match against the Netherlands. Babar, who had high expectations riding on him, could only muster 5 runs from 18 deliveries before getting caught at short mid-wicket.

A Promising Start Dashed

In a game where Pakistan was asked to bat first, Babar came to the crease after the dismissal of Fakhar Zaman. Fans were eagerly anticipating another remarkable Babar innings on what seemed like a batting-friendly pitch. However, their hopes were shattered when Babar mistimed a pull shot and was caught.

It’s worth noting that Babar had entered this match on the back of a splendid 90-run performance against Australia in a warm-up match. Nevertheless, against the Netherlands, he struggled to find his form and eventually perished while attempting a big shot.

Netizens Take Aim

After his early departure, Babar Azam became the subject of harsh trolling on various social media platforms. Numerous netizens expressed their disappointment in his inability to handle a relatively inexperienced Dutch bowling attack.

Here is Netizen’s Twitter reacted:

Pakistan’s Recovery

Despite the early setbacks, the Pakistan innings saw a steady recovery led by Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel. The duo formed a partnership of over 100 runs and maintained a respectable scoring rate. Both Rizwan and Shakeel notched half-centuries before departing, each contributing 68 runs to the team’s total.
