PAK vs SL Tri Series: Babar Azam represented Pakistan against Sri Lanka in Rawalpindi on Thursday. During the sixth match of the tri-series, Babar came out to bat at the No.3 position for the host but couldn't score a single run. Dushmantha Chameera took his wicket on the last ball. He dismissed him by LBW ahead of the wickets, and that's how he got out on a two-ball duck.
Both the team management and the fans expected a lot from him as he is their highest run-scorer in the shortest format.
This duck on Thursday was the tenth in this format, as he didn't even score one run.
With this, he has leveled the record of getting out on ducks the most in this format. Besides him, Umar Akmal and the youngster Saim Ayub have also got out on ducks 10 times each in the shortest format.
