Sri Lanka is currently on a tour to Pakistan. Pakistan is taking part in a test series. The series’ second match is being played in Colombo. Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first, however the team was quickly dismissed. Pakistan made a strong start in their first innings. Captain Babar Azam and Abdullah Shafiq are at the crease, and Babar played a ‘innovative shot’ during this.
Babar Azam appears to be in good form. On the final ball of the 37th over, Babar Azam played an unusual hit. Babar attempted to drive Fernando’s forward ball but was stopped by the length. The ball was out of bounds. Babar commits and slants the bat to play the shot with light hands. The ball struck the bat and was caught between first slip and gully. Babar receives a four.
Babar Azam gets a four for this one-of-a-kind shot. Babar Azam scored 28 runs in 49 balls with three fours and a six before the game was called off due to rain. Babar Azam’s first Test match as a batsman did not go well. Abdullah Shafiq is back in action after scoring 87 runs. Fernando took Pakistan’s first and second wickets.
