Babar Azam in BBL 2025: Keeping the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in mind, many big players around the world are currently paying special attention to their consistency and form in T20 cricket. In this series, the 15th season of Australia’s famous franchise T20 League Big Bash has started from December 14. This time the presence of many star players of Pakistan in BBL has made the league more interesting. Especially the eyes of cricket fans are fixed on the performance of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.
The season started with Sydney vs Perth match
The first match of Big Bash League 2025-26 was played between Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers at Perth Stadium. In this match, Babar Azam got a chance to play in Big Bash for the first time on behalf of Sydney Sixers. There was a lot of excitement about Babar and fans were expecting a big innings from him, but his debut match could not live up to the expectations.
Disappointing debut of Babar Azam
Sydney Sixers included Babar Azam in their squad and he was given the responsibility of opening along with Daniel Hughes. However, both the batsmen failed to give a good start to the team. Daniel Hughes was out without opening the account, after which all hopes were pinned on Babar. But Babar also could not stay at the crease for long and returned to the pavilion after scoring only 2 runs.
How did Babar Azam get out?
Babar Azam was out on the fifth ball of the third over while trying to play a big shot off the bowling of Brodie Couch. He tried to shoot straight, but the ball could not travel much distance in the air. Laurie Evans, present at mid-on, did not make any mistake and ended Babar’s innings by taking an easy catch. In this way, Babar’s Big Bash debut was very disappointing.
