Lahore: Pakistan’s left -handed opener Fakhar Zaman has supported star dough and former skipper Babar Azam to work well in the middle of the ruling bad shape.
Babar, who has not yet scored a century since his 151-Run bank against Nepal in August 2023, is under a lot of control because of his inability to score large across formats.
The right-handed dough that was promoted to open laps along with recurring fakers in the ongoing tri-nation Odi series and ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 to follow could not turn the tide in his favor when he was dismissed for a scratched 10 23 deliveries in the opening match against New Zealand.
Meanwhile, Fakhar remained top-scoring for the green shirts in their crushing 78-run defeat in the Tri-Series opener against New Zealand, confident in Star Batter’s ability to find his lost touch with bats.
“It happens in the cricket, but the class and legacy of Babar is such that you can’t say much about a match and you will see that he will perform in the upcoming matches,” Fakhar said at the press conference after the match on Saturday.
His remarks come as the hosts suffered a humiliating defeat against the black caps after not chasing the 331-driven goal in the match, the first of the trilateral series, which also includes South Africa.
“And again, when it’s your day even your edge would dodge the keeper and run away for the limit, but if it’s not your day you must have seen how well they took the catch of tayyab [Tahir]“Noticed the left -handed dough.
Fakhar also expressed his disappointment over the overwhelming defeat of the national stroke in the Tri-Series campaign opener.
“I’m disappointed in the loss, but I’m not worried about not scoring a century,” Fakhar said.
The opening daughter also thanked the fans for a warm reception when he returned to the national team.
“I was out of the team for a while and I am grateful for the love and support I received from everyone after my return,” he concluded.
