"This too shall pass ZimBabar" - Twitterati troll Babar Azam after his failure vs Zimbabwe

Pakistan captain Babar Azam faced backlash from cricket fans on Twitter after his second consecutive batting failure in the T20 World Cup 2022 on Thursday, October 27. In Pakistan’s second Super 12 clash against Zimbabwe, Babar got out for just four runs as well.

However, Zimbabwe batted first in the game after winning the toss. They began the innings well but a middle-order collapse saw them could only manage 130/8 after 20 overs. Sean Williams (31) top-scored for Zimbabwe, while Mohammad Wasim Jr (4/24) and Shadab Khan (3/23) starred with the ball for Pakistan as well.

Many thought that the chase would be easy for Pakistan. However, the Zimbabwe bowlers did well by dismissing Babar Azam in the fourth over with 13 runs on the scorecard. His opening partner Mohammad Rizwan (14) also departed soon after as well, leaving the team in a spot of bother. And, they eventually lost the game too.

Here is how fans troll Babar Azam:

Babar Azam, the Pakistan skipper said after the game: “We would have taken 130 at the halfway stage. Very disappointing performance, we are not up to the mark in batting. We have good batters but both openers got out in the powerplay. When Shadab and Shan were building partnership, unfortunately Shadab got out and then back-to-back wickets that pushed us into pressure situation. First 6 overs, we haven’t used the new ball well but we finished well with the ball. We will sit out, discuss our mistakes and we will train hard and come back strong in our next game.”
