Pakistan's star batter Babar Azam made a 44-ball 45 for the Stallions in what was a crushing defeat against the Markhors in their 2nd match of the Champions Cup clash in Faisalabad on Sunday. As the right-handed batter was walking back to the dressing room, fans were also seen leaving the stadium at large as a video of the same went viral on social media.
The Lahore-born cricketer scored a confident 79-ball 76 when the Stallions beat the Lions by a massive margin of 133 runs. Nevertheless, the former Pakistan Test skipper managed only 45 runs in pursuit of a modest 232. With Babar enjoying a massive fan following, a largely disappointed section of fans were seen leaving the stadium.
Here's the video of the same:
Zahid Mahmood's five-wicket haul demolishes the Stallions:
Leg-spinner Zahid Mahmood finished as the pick of the bowlers for Markhors as he ended up with outstanding figures of 4.4-0-18-5, dismissing Babar, Mohammad Haris, Mehran Mumtaz, Haris Rauf, and Abrar Ahmed. Naseem Shah snared three, while Agha Salman finished with a couple.
Earlier, Iftikhar Ahmed (60) and Salman (51) struck half-centuries to propel their side to 231 in 45 overs. For the Stallions, Shan Masood was the only player other than Babar to get to double figures as they eventually got bowled out for 105, lasting only 23.4 overs.
