What is Babar Azam's record against SENA countries in Tests? image

Pakistan's star batter, Babar Azam, continued to struggle against Australia's formidable pace bowling attack. In the third Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), Babar fell victim to a strategic plan devised by Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood.

Cummins, in particular, varied his deliveries, catching Babar off guard with just short of a full-length inswinger, leading to his dismissal for just 26 runs.

Babar's struggles were evident in the previous Tests, where he repeatedly fell to deliveries around the good length region. And in this Test, they altered their length marginally and that did the trick. 

Babar ended 2023 without a Test fifty which is a cause for concern. In the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne, he was dismissed for 41 runs by Hazlewood, once again failing to reach the fifty-run mark.

Overall, in 10 innings of Test cricket in 2023, Babar managed to score only 204 runs, which shows his poverty with the bat in red-ball cricket. Whereas, his modest average of 24.15 in Australia from 2016 to 2023 is a testimony to his perennial struggles Down Under. 

Has he failed to deliver in other SENA (South Africa, England, Australia, New Zealand) countries as well? Let us take a look. 

What is Babar Azam's record against SENA countries in Tests?
