Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi criticised Babar’s strategy, saying he should have completed the game rather than leaving runs on the table. According to the abrasive former batter, this is a source of concern.
Shahid Afridi appreciated the knock but advised Babar to focus on the flaw.
“Amazing win! Good start by Babar Azam but lost his tempo, waiting for him to step up as a match-winner. Regardless, great overall performances by Khushdil Shah, Imam-ul-Haq, Shaheen Afridi,” Afridi tweeted.
“You made us proud, Keep it up boys,” he added.
Babar Azam, Pakistan’s captain, smashed his 15th ODI century against Australia at the legendary Gaddafi Stadium yesterday, helping Pakistan to a morale-boosting victory.
Babar Ali scored 114 from 83 balls, the highest score by a Pakistan skipper against Australia.
The Pakistan chase was well-coordinated, with Babar and Imam-ul-Haq scoring quick hundredes and Khushdil Shah and Iftikhar Ahmed finishing the job with some exquisite boundaries. With six wickets still in the tank, Pakistan reached the target in the 49th over.
