In the crucial Asia Cup Super Four match against India on Monday (September 11), Babar Azam, the world's top-ranked ODI batsman, failed to make much impact against India at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The Pakistan captain lasted only 28 balls and scored 10 runs before being dismissed by Hardik Pandya with a beautiful delivery.

It was the fourth ball of the 11th over by Hardik which was pitched at the length delivery and jagged in sharply from the outside off stump region. The big inswinger completely beat Babar, and the ball went on to hit the top of the off-stump.

Hardik, like all Indian players, was aware of the magnitude of Babar's wicket. As a result, they rejoiced when he fell cheaply, while Pakistan's top batsman slowly began to walk to the pavilion.


Meanwhile, the game has been interrupted again due to rain at the time of writing, as Pakistan reached 44/2 in 11 overs after coming to chase 357. Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman are at the crease, batting on 1* and 14* respectively, while Jasprit Bumrah took the other wicket, of Imam-ul-Haq's.

It is important to note that both sides must bat for at least 20 overs to get a result from the contest.
