NEW DELHI: Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commended Babar Azam's performance in the first ODI against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, describing his display as 'top-class'.
Babar scored 37 runs off 44 deliveries at a strike rate of 84.09 after his resignation as Pakistan's limited-overs captain in Januray this year. His innings concluded in the 18th over when Australian spinner Adam Zampa dismissed him.
