Gus Atkinson delivers a superb ball to bowl out Babar Azam in Pakistan vs England ODI
During the ongoing tri-series involving Pakistan, England, and Sri Lanka, England’s bowler Gus Atkinson bowled an exceptional delivery that clean bowled Pakistan captain Babar Azam at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. This dismissal occurred in the 6.5th over; Babar had previously scored 10 runs off 12 balls in a match that England must win after losing their first two games. Babar Azam's recent ODI form has been below par, with no half-centuries in his last five innings and a batting average of 35.33 this season. In the same match, Pakistani pacer Shaheen Afridi took four wickets to cause an early England collapse, but Ben Duckett scored a century to lead England to 241 runs. Pakistan’s top order also struggled during their chase, with Salman Ali Agha and Hasan Nawaz at the crease at 96/4, trying to stabilize the innings.
