Why Does Babar Azam Need To Stay Aware Of Mir Hamza In KAR Vs PES PSL 2025 Match?

Why Karachi Kings pacer can trouble Babar [Source: @BabarAzam_152/x.com]

The 11th match of the Pakistan Super League will feature the Karachi Kings up against Peshawar Zalmi at the National Stadium in Karachi. This will be Peshawar's 4th game of the season having lost two and winning just one. The main concern for them heading into this encounter is the form of Babar Azam.

The Zalmi skipper has only scored 3 runs in 3 matches and has looked woefully out of touch. He has been found out by the opposition teams this PSL season and Babar's form has impacted the team combination. He has a set pattern of getting out and in the game against Karachi Kings, there is one particular bowler who can easily dismiss Babar.

We are talking about Mir Hamza, the left-arm pacer from Karachi Kings. Here are 2 key reasons why Hamza could be the one to dismiss Babar tonight.

1) Three games, three dismissals by left-armers

Babar has played three matches so far in PSL 2025 and in all three games, he was dismissed by left-armers. In the first match against Quetta Gladiators, Mohammad Amir got the better off him as the captain of Peshawar was caught at short covers.

In the second game against Islamabad, Ben Dwarshuis dismissed the struggling Pakistan batter with a delivery going away from the body. Then, against Multan Sultans, David Willey made him his bunny as the Peshawar skipper once again failed against left-armers. If the trend is anything to go by, then Mir Hamza does have a great chance to dismiss the right-handed batter in the PSL match.

2) Terrific record against Babar

Mir Hamza has played for and against Babar Azam for a while and the wily left-arm pacer has a brilliant record against him.

(Mir Hamza Vs Babar)

Babar has faced 30 balls from Mir Hamza but has struggled to get going against him. He has just slammed 30 runs in 27 balls, and Hamza has always applied the breaks as Babar only strikes at 111.1.

The stats clearly show his domination against Peshawar captain and this domination could be witnessed in the Peshawar Vs Karachi PSL 2025 match.
