Watch: Babar Azam Goes Up Against Azam Khan On Field, The Result Is...

Star batter Babar Azam on Sunday smashed his second half-century in as many games but Pakistan went down against New Zealand in the second T20I in Hamilton. Babar, who hit 57 in the series-opener in Auckland, smashed 66 off just 43 balls, but couldn't guide his team to a win at the Seddon Park as New Zealand took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. Babar, who recently stepped down from captaincy across formats, however, enjoyed his time in the middle with the bat, smashing seven boundaries and two sixes.

The former Pakistan captain was also seen having some fun with young wicketkeeper-batter Azam Khan.

Babar hilariously collided with Azam, but ended up taking a tumble on contact with the youngster. The video is doing rounds on social media.

Coming back to the match, pacer Adam Milne claimed four wickets as New Zealand beat Pakistan by 21 runs.

Chasing a target of 195, Pakistan collapsed under the lights in Hamilton after Babar and Fakhar Zaman scored half-centuries as they were dismissed for 173 in the final over.

Victory came at a cost for the Black Caps, whose captain Kane Williamson retired hurt with a hamstring injury while batting, placing him in doubt for the remainder of the five-match series.

The match bore similarities to New Zealand's 46-run win in the opening match in Auckland on Friday, with their attack taking wickets at regular intervals to deny Pakistan a foothold in their chase.
