Rashid Khan, the Afghani superstar going up against Babar Azam, Pakistan's heart and soul is a battle made in heaven. There have been some intriguing battles between the two over the years and it is always a fascinating watch for cricket lovers around the world. In the third ODI between Afghanistan and Pakistan at Colombo, the battle was on again and this time, Rashid Khan outfoxed Babar Azam with a lovely leg-break.

Babar Azam was batting on 60 and was looking well set to get another big score before Rashid Khan broke the 110-run third wicket stand between Babar and Rizwan to provide some respite to the Afghans.

Talking about the ball, it was touch short, outside off and turning away from Babar. The Pakistani skipper tried to play it late and guide it behind square on the off side but  he could manage only an outside edge and Rahmanullah Gurbaz behind the stumps took a sharp catch.

It was a slow knock from Babar Azam though, he took 86 balls to score his 60 runs and the pressure of dot ball got to him in the end. Babar also scored fifty in the second ODI but could not convert it into a big score, something which is rare for the quality batter like Babar Azam.

At the time of writing, Pakistan are 184-5 at the end of 39.2 overs with Agha Salman and Shadab Khan at the crease.
