'Babar Azam Missed Century By Just 99 Runs': Pakistan Star Trolled For Failing In 2nd New Zealand ODI

The fans went hard on Pakisan's start batter Babar Azam after he failed to perform for his side during the second ODI match against New Zealand at Seddon Park, Hamilton. Chasing 293 runs against the Blackcaps, Pakistan lost their opening wicket in the form of Abdullah Shafique for just 6 runs on the board. This is when Babar arrived at the crease but his innings too could not last long. New Zealand's right-arm pacer Jacob Duffy dismissed Babar for the latter's individual score of 1 off 3 balls.

New Zealand made 292-8 and bowled Pakistan out for 208 in the 42nd over in Hamilton in the second of three ODIs.

Hay's lusty hitting snapped a mid-innings slump by the hosts as he raced to a
