Babar Azam participated in his 100th ODI, which the home team lost to New Zealand by a score of 47 runs. However, because of Azam’s amazing performance in the format, he was able to reach a fantastic milestone after 100 ODI matches.
“It was a fantastic series, but it didn’t come to a satisfying conclusion. Although Agha and Iftikhar formed a solid connection as we struggled with the bat at the top, we still left too many runs on the table for them. We must always be ready to execute under any circumstances. A better cricket performance was required today.
“Overall, the squad played well in the series, and our bowlers performed admirably. There were several encouraging things to take away from this series, which we used to test the bench strength.
