Babar Azam has scored his first One Day International (ODI) half-century in New Zealand in almost nine years. The last time he reached this milestone on New Zealand soil was back in 2016.
During the opening match of the series against New Zealand, the former Pakistan captain played a steady and elegant innings, showing his trademark batting skills. He held the innings together with a composed knock, proving once again why he is one of Pakistan’s most reliable batters.
This achievement is an important moment in his career, as it highlights his ability to perform well in overseas conditions after such a long gap. Despite his strong effort, Pakistan was unable to win the match. However, his performance remains a positive takeaway for the team as they continue the series.
