Pakistan vs West Indies, 2nd T20I: Babar Azam Gets Run Out After Mix-Up With Mohammad Rizwan In Karachi. Watch | Cricket News

Babar Azam was left dejected after getting run out early on in Pakistan’s innings during his team’s ongoing second T20I against West Indies on Tuesday at the National Stadium in Karachi. The Pakistan captain was dismissed after a mix-up with opening partner Mohammad Rizwan and had to leave for the dugout after scoring just 7 runs. During the third delivery of the third over, Akeal Hosein delivered a flat ball on the off stump line to Mohammad Rizwan, who directed it to backward point and went for a quick single. With Rizwan setting for a run, it was quite obvious that Babar would not reach the striker’s end on time and ended up short of his crease as Hayden Walsh Jr sent a good throw with wicketkeeper Nicholas Pooran guiding it to the stumps.

Here is the video of the mix-up between Rizwan and Babar which led to the latter’s cheap departure:

The 27-year-old could only register seven off seven balls, consisting of a four. During the time of his departure, Pakistan were at 14 for one in 2.3 overs.

Depending on the result of today’s game, Rizwan could be hearing a mouthful from his captain in the dressing room. Babar was also dismissed for a two-ball duck in the first T20I but Pakistan ended up winning the game by 63 runs.
