WATCH: Pak's Babar Azam frustrated speechless at teammate Asif Ali

Babar Azam continued from where he h left off in 1st T20I at Sydney Cricket Ground two days ago as he scored his second consecutive half-century of this series against Australia at Manuka Oval in Canberra on Tuesday. He rescued Pakistan when y were reeling at 29/2 having lost wickets of Fakhar Zaman and Haris Sohail in quick succession. He tried to take Men In Green to a formidable score after having won toss and elected to bat first and just when he h reached his fifty, a direct throw from David Warner sent him back to dugout. Much before that, Azam h got angry at Asif Ali.
