Babar Azam Dismissed Again: Questions Mount Over Consistency

Babar Azam dismissed for 34 against England. Questions rise over his consistency after another failed attempt to convert a start. Pakistan struggles at 94/4.

In a crucial ODI Tri-Series match, Pakistan's Babar Azam was dismissed for 34 off 52 balls by England's Will Jacks on October 20, 2026. The delivery from Jacks turned sharply, beating Azam's bat and hitting the stumps. This marks another instance where Azam failed to convert a good start into a significant score, having previously made 45 against Sri Lanka.

England's captain Harry Brook won the toss and elected to bowl at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Pakistan's innings began poorly, with early wickets falling. Azam's dismissal in the 15th over left Pakistan at 59/3, and he was eventually out with the score at 94/4. His performance in the series so far includes 79 runs in two innings at an average of 39.50.

Pakistan's batting lineup struggled against England's bowlers, with several players failing to build substantial innings. At the time of reporting, Pakistan was 94/4 after 21.1 overs, with the lower order tasked with rebuilding to reach a competitive total.
