Pakistan’s cricket team is facing criticism once again as Babar Azam’s embarrassing dropped catch during the first T20I encounter against New Zealand has caused a stir on social media. The incident occurred in Auckland on Friday when New Zealand’s Williamson miscued a shot off the bowling of Abbas Afridi, and the ball went straight towards Babar at mid-on. Despite it being an easy catch, Babar misjudged it completely, leaving fans frustrated and social media alight with criticism.

The Pakistan team’s fielding performances have been under scrutiny, with numerous missed catches and fielding errors during the recent Test series against Australia. This latest blunder has only added to the disappointment of the fans.

Following the mishap, social media erupted with reactions, with fans expressing their frustration and disappointment. Some even went as far as to roast Babar for the missed opportunity. The incident has reignited the debate around the team’s fielding capabilities and has put the spotlight on Babar Azam’s performance.

In the match, Pakistan won the toss, and their new captain, Shaheen Shah Afridi, chose to ask New Zealand to bat in the first Twenty20 international in Auckland. The decision has sparked discussions among fans and pundits, with some questioning the tactical acumen behind the move.
