Babar Azam, brilliance. Wanted to make runs under pressure, he delivered, doesn't get tougher than chasing in a world cup fixture with your team fighting to stay alive in the competition.

What a player this Babar Azam is. Still coming of age and already, by some distance, Pakistan's best batsman. And the selection of Haris Sohail is a game-changer.
