Babar Azam’s return to T20Is ended with a two-ball duck against South Africa, matching Shahid Afridi’s record for most T20I ducks by a Pakistan player
Playing his first T20I since March, Babar fell early to Corbin Bosch in Rawalpindi as Pakistan’s top order crumbled under pressure
This was Babar’s eighth T20I duck, equalling Afridi’s tally and placing both at the top of Pakistan’s list for most T20I ducks
With 8 ducks, Babar now surpasses India’s Virat Kohli, who has 7 T20I ducks, adding another twist to their rivalry
Pakistan’s batting woes continued as they managed just 139 runs while chasing 194, suffering another disappointing collapse
South Africa’s 55-run win made them the first team to win batting first at Rawalpindi in T20Is, taking a 1–0 series lead
