Overview
- Azam was trapped lbw by Brad Evans in Rawalpindi and Pakistan’s review returned umpire’s call to uphold the on-field decision.
- The duck takes Azam past Shahid Afridi’s eight and leaves him behind only Saim Ayub and Umar Akmal, who have 10 each for Pakistan.
- Pakistan chased 148 and won by five wickets with four balls to spare, led by Fakhar Zaman’s 44 and a late 21 off 12 from Mohammad Nawaz.
- The dismissal marked Azam’s third duck in his last six T20I innings despite a recent T20 half-century and an ODI century earlier this year.
- Social media quickly filled with memes and trolling after the early wicket, intensifying scrutiny of Azam’s T20 form as the tri-series continues.
