Babar Azam's Crucial Test Series Against Bangladesh: A Look at His Performance

Pakistan's Tour of Bangladesh for World Test Championship

The Pakistan cricket team has arrived in Bangladesh to compete in their upcoming series as part of the World Test Championship 2025-27. They are set to play a two-match Test series against the host nation starting on May 8. The first match will take place at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka, where all eyes will be on former captain Babar Azam. In their last Test series against Bangladesh, Pakistan faced defeats in both matches. Babar Azam has struggled with his performance in Test cricket recently, failing to score a century for an extended period.

Babar's Last Century in Test Cricket

Babar Azam, who once captained the Pakistani Test team, lost this role primarily due to the team's poor performance and his inability to deliver with the bat. It has been over 1200 days since Babar last scored a century in Test cricket. His last century came in 2022 during a match against New Zealand at the Karachi stadium, where he scored an impressive 161 runs. Since then, he has played 15 Test matches without reaching the three-figure mark, managing only four half-centuries. This upcoming series against Bangladesh is crucial for Babar's career.

Babar Azam's Record Against Bangladesh

When examining Babar Azam's performance against Bangladesh in Test cricket, his record appears quite strong. He has played a total of five Test matches against Bangladesh, participating in eight innings, where he has accumulated 306 runs at an average of 43.71. During this period, he has scored one century and one half-century, although he has also been dismissed for a duck in one innings.
