Pakistan star batter Babar Azam was confronted by fans after his disappointing display with the bat in the second T20I against Australia. The Baggy Greens beat the Men in Green by 13 runs to seal the 3-match series at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday.
Babar only managed to score 3 runs each in the first and second T20I respectively. During the match in Sydney, Babar was fielding near the boundary when a group of fans started yelling and insulting him.
In a video which is making rounds on social media, Babar is seen getting told by a fan that he didn’t deserve to be a part of Pakistan’s T20I squad and should return to his hometown of Lahore.
Set just 148 to win after Haris Rauf claimed 4/22 to keep the hosts in check, Pakistan were all out for 134 in the final over despite a fine knock of 52 from Usman Khan.
Pacer Spencer Johnson was the star of the show for Australia with his incredible spell of 5/26 which propelled the hosts to the big victory.
“We thought we were there or thereabouts and I thought the way the bowlers went about it was brilliant. There’s so many options in this team I can go to. Every time I turned to Johnson tonight, he got a wicket. The way they played tonight was really good,” Australia skipper Jos Inglis said.
