Mohammad Rizwan supported Babar Azam to go well with its form, while Pakistan is preparing to face New Zealand in the Tri series final in Karachi on Friday. The races in this match will be at hand, although the biggest objective of a long -term return to the races is more practical.
Babar has fought on formats for some time now and although its form in the ODI – undoubtedly its strongest format – has not fallen as sharply as in the other two, it is considerably decreasing. Since the start of the Asian Cup in August 2023, it has an average of 42.90 in 25 games, a race that reduced its average of 59 in the mid -50s. If you withdraw a single round – 151 – Against Nepal, the average of this race falls below 38.
This series does not seem to break this mold. He was dismissed for 10 in the first game against New Zealand, a painful round that spread throughout the power game and in contrast with the granted shape of Fakhar Zaman at the other end.
In the record prosecution of Pakistan of 353 against South Africa, Babar started sharply and looked good until it was trapped in front of Wiaan Mulder for 23 years. Rizwan argued that Babar had become a victim of his own success.
“Babar has scored so many points for Pakistan that we expect him to mark a hundred in every game,” said Rizwan. “If we do not judge it by these extreme expectations, you will see that he is still rejoicing and contributing in a evaluated manner for us.
“As a captain, I expect much more because of everything he has done in the past. There is obviously additional pressure because of this and I am sure he feels it too. [he is still scoring runs]. It is not as if he had clear technical deficiencies, but he is still tested. I am convinced that he will get out. “”
“When Abdullah Shafic went out early in South Africa, Babar still had to face the new ball. Player to open, rather than throwing someone else at depth”

Babar struck two fifties in the recent victory of the Pakistani series in South Africa, and carried out useful races in the victory of the ODI series in Australia before that, so there is a recent form. But this return became complicated by its appearance to open up in this series – the first time that he struck in Odi in a decade.
It was necessary by the injury of the drastic loss of the form of Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafic between the formats. This series was considered a trial for Babar in this role and the jury remains on the question of whether Pakistan will continue to beat him there during the Champions Trophy, which begins on February 19. The Babar plan did not work, Rizwan said he would.
“We have other players who can open if we need it. .
“His absence created a huge disturbance, and we opted for the safety of Babar Azam, which is our best dough. Treat the new ball anyway.”
