UAE–
Pakistani skipper Babar Azam displayed an impressive knock in the Men In Green’s ICC T20 World Cup warm-up match versus West Indies.
The Pakistani captain currently ranks as the best ODI batsman. He proved instrumental in his team’s blazing victory over the West Indies by scoring a half-century with six 4s and a six.
On Monday, Pakistan defeated West Indies by a whopping seven wickets with a comprehensive team effort in their warm-up match.
The skipper, taking to his Instagram story, said: “Enjoyed the outing today.”
Meanwhile, images showed the Indian team reaching the venue prior to their warm-up fixture versus England. Kohli’s team, along with mentor Dhoni, could be seen watching the Pakistan captain Babar Azam batting his way to a half-century.
Along with them were the English players, who had also arrived to play their warm-up match against India.
As usual, it allowed the Pakistanis to take to social media sites to share memes of the Indian team seeing Babar Azam skillfully score 50 runs.
A few of them termed the Indian cricket team “fans” of Azam, who had come to watch him bat.
It merits mentioning that Pakistan’s match against India is played at 7 pm on Sunday, October 24. Pakistan will partake in a training session in Dubai today.
