Pakistan are currently busy playing the last and third Test match in Karachi. However, they came to this clash after losing the first two matches convincingly. So, Babar Azam was looking to avoid a clean sweep at home. Fans already criticized him a lot for his captaincy during the first two matches.

Meanwhile, before the last match, Babar Azam said: “We will try to pull off results in our favor. In the previous matches whatever mistakes we made which we could have avoided, the effort would be made to avoid them.”  Speaking of the match, Babar won the toss and opted to bat first.

Fans are not happy with Babar Azam as the skipper of Pakistan

While batting first, Pakistan scored 304 runs in 79 overs by losing all of their wickets in the first innings. Babar Azam rose to the occasion once again with the bat as he scored 78 runs off 123 balls, including nine fours. For England, Jack Leach took four wickets for 140 runs in 31 overs. In reply, England scored 354 runs in 81.4 overs by losing all of their wickets in their first innings. So, the visitors took a lead of 50 runs. For the home side, both Abrar Ahmed and Nauman Ali took four wickets each. 

But, on day three, Pakistan again got bundled out for 216 runs in 74.5 overs. Babar Azam scored 54 runs while Saud Shakeel scored 53 runs. Thus, they set a 167-run target for the visitors. Debutant Rehan Ahmed took five wickets for 48 runs in 14.5 overs. At the end of day three, England scored 112 runs for two wickets in just 17 overs. So, England just need 55 runs in two days to complete the clean sweep over the Men in Green. Seeing such a performance, fans were not happy and they started to slam Babar Azam for his captaincy. They blamed his captaincy that has helped England to score so freely throughout the series.
