Babar Azam's drop catch vs WI (Source:@Pmln_gulf92/X.com)
Babar Azam has been the pillar of Pakistan's batting line-up for quite a long time now. However, his form off-late has not been great and he has struggled, especially in home conditions. The star batter could not score much runs in the first Test against West Indies and departed early in the first outing of the second Test as well.
Pakistan now need 254 to win the second Test and ended up losing two wickets at a score of just five. Babar Azam and Kamran Ghulam then tried to bring this in control. However, it would have been all over for Babar Azam at a score of 13 when he pushed a fuller delivery straight to Guadkesh Motie, the bowler.
Babar Azam Keeps Pakistan In Hunt
The West Indian got both his hands to the ball, but could not hold onto it and Pakistan star was given a lifeline. It could prove costly for West Indies as Babar Azam is batting well and despite the wicket of Kamran Ghulam, he is playing with a positive mindset.
The task is still quite tough for Pakistan and they would have to bat out of their skins to chase down the target. West Indies got the 9-run lead at the end of the first innings and then their batters displayed lot of heart in the second innings to get 244 on the board.
Pakistan are leading the series, but West Indies now have a great chance to level it and it would be quite an achievement if the visitors manage to pull off a win.
