Hong Kong incentive Eshan Khan gave his platoon a great launch in their Asia Cup Group A match against Pakistan on Friday in Sharjah as he took a sharp catch to shoot star batter Babar packing in the third over.
Hong Kong won the toss and decided the o coliseum and Eshan Khan gave his captain reason to be happy as he dove to his right to take a low catch as Ba bar fell for 9 off 8 deliveries. It was top trouble by Ehsan, especially as it came off his bowling.
Ba bar Got Trolled After Being Dismissed For 9 vs Hong Kong Pakistan captain Ba bar has got off to a poor start in the Asia Cup 2022.
He has bagged two cheap scores in the event so far and is getting heavily combed for the same.
On Friday, he was dismissed for only 9 runs from 8 balls against Hong Kong as off- incentive Eshan Khan had him caught and sailed, dicing back a comfortable catch to draw first blood for Hong Kong in what's a must-palm game for both brigades to qualify for the Super 4.
Ba bar has scored only 19 runs in two matches
Before this, on Sunday, Ba bar the Pakistani nature and captain managed only 10 runs from 9 balls against India.
He was dismissed by elderly Indian leader Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Bhuvneshwar surprised Ba bar with a short ball; the Pakistani captain, feeling the pressure of having a slow launch with Rizwan, went for a pull shot but-edged it, and was taken at short fine leg by Arshdeep Singh.
This couple of cheap scores from Ba bar have come as a bit of a surprise for the suckers because the right-hander had been in supreme form this time.
Before the Asia Cup, Babar had struck three successive fifties including a score of 91- against the Netherlands
Before that e ’d hit a century and two half-centuries in Tests against Sri Lanka on the delicate Galle shells.
He’d registered hundreds and fifties in West Indies and previous to that at home against Australia to lead his side from the front.
These couple of cheap scores could also just be an aberration given the fickle nature of the T20 format, and Ba bar could soon be back at his pomp in the Super 4, should Pakistan master Hong Kong
Ba bar Azam got mercilessly combed on Twitter
But, for now, suckers had some fun while trolling the Pakistani commander, Ba bar for his two low scores in the Asia Cup 2022.
Netizens also recalled how Babar had handed some words of strength on Twitter when Virat Kohli was going through a spare patch in England in July.
Before the Asia Cup, Kohli himself also hailed Babar as the stylish current batsman across the three formats.
While the Pakistan commander came into the event in great form, he has not had a great Asia Cup crusade so far.
He scored just 10 against India in their defeat in the first match and fell cheaply again on Friday.
While Hong Kong started well with the ball, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman sustained the boat for Pakistan before a late assault helped take them to tan an estimable score of193/2.
Rizwan stayed unbeaten on 78 off 57 deliveries, while Fakhar made 53 off 41.
