Babar Azam brutally attacked online after crawling at painful 83.33 strike rate vs Netherlands

Babar Azam’s problems against spin bowling continued in a worrying way as Pakistan suffered another setback in their T20 World Cup 2026 opener against the Netherlands in Colombo. Babar Azam yet again failed to deliver when his team needed him the most, leaving Pakistan in serious trouble during the chase against the Netherlands.

Babar Azam’s spin struggles continue at T20 World Cup 2026

Chasing the 148-run target at Sinhalese Sports Club, Babar looked set to steady the innings, but the danger arrived in the form of Netherlands left-arm spinner Roelof van der Merwe. The spinner bowled a slow, well-flighted ball outside the off stump.

Instead of playing it safely, Babar decided to attack and went down the pitch to hit the ball over the field. The plan backfired badly. The former Pakistan captain misread the flight of the ball and mistimed his shot. The ball went high into the air but did not have enough power.

It floated towards the long-off boundary, where Kyle Klein moved quickly to his right and took an easy catch. It was a huge blow for Pakistan, as they slipped to 100 for 5. Babar walked back after scoring just 15 runs from 18 balls, with only one boundary to his name.

Babar Azam is a T20 anachronism, and he cannot prove otherwise even against the modest Dutch attack. #PAKvsNED #T20WC

This SSC Colombo pitch is challenging for strokeplay. Babar Azam should’ve been smart and taken it deep. There was no point going for a high risk shot when the run rate was still around 6.
This pitch was meant for his gameplay and being the senior play he has failed miserably.…
