South Africa was able to start off the series with a 55-run win, as the comeback of Babar Azam was eventually spoiled. Fans remain eager to see whether he is able to score runs in the next two games, or the series ewill nd as a blunder for him.

Babar Azam has strengthened his spot as one of Pakistan's best T20 batsmen these days. He is close to breaking multiple records for the team in the series against South Africa. Having more than 4000 runs in the shortest format of the game, Azam stands for having the most runs in this format.

He has played 122 innings and scored 4223 runs before the match against South Africa. As fans expected him to easily break the record of Rohit Sharma in the game and take over the record to his name, he was dismissed for a duck. This brings up yet another innings for Babar without having scored an international century.
