The format changed, the color of the jersey changed, but Babar Azam's failure did not change. Babar Azam, who came to play for Pakistan, once again proved unsuccessful. Babar Azam scored only 37 runs in the first ODI match played against Australia in Melbourne. Babar was settled on the pitch, he was rotating the strike well but then such an accident happened to him which his fans and Babar himself could not even imagine. Actually, Babar Azam was bowled by Adam Zampa in Melbourne ODI and this was like an accident for him.

Why being bowled by Jampa is an 'incident' with Babar

Babar Azam being bowled by Adam Zampa is an accident because this player has been bowled by a spinner after a long gap of five years. Babar Azam was last bowled by a spinner during the 2019 World Cup. That match was against Afghanistan in Leeds where Babar was bowled by off-spinner Mohammad Nabi. Now after five years, Babar has again been bowled by a spinner.

Babar became the victim of Zampa

Babar Azam had settled on the difficult pitch of Melbourne. He took out difficult overs from Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins. Even his strike rotation was amazing. He had hit four fours but then in the 18th over, Adam Zampa finished his job. Zampa bowled wicket to wicket and Babar could not understand one of his flippers and his stumps were blown away. After Babar's dismissal, the pressure on Pakistan increased further. Kamran Ghulam 5, Agha Salman could score only 12 runs. Captain Rizwan definitely played an inning of 44 runs in 71 balls but he could not play freely. As a result, Pakistan was seen playing like Test in ODI cricket also.
