In the recent third T20 match against New Zealand, Babar Azam, Pakistan’s middle-order batsman, achieved a distinctive record despite the team’s loss. Babar played an innings of 58 runs off 37 balls, including 1 six and 8 fours, but couldn’t secure a victory for Pakistan in Dunedin.
Babar Azam now stands as the second batsman globally to score 50 or more runs in T20 Internationals on 10 occasions without leading his team to victory. Virat Kohli of India holds the second position in this list, having achieved the feat 11 times.
The match saw New Zealand setting a formidable target of 224 runs in 20 overs. Babar Azam had consistently scored half-centuries in the first three matches of the series, yet his efforts were not enough to guide Pakistan to success.
