Azam Khan gives a death stare to a fan after being dismissed against the USA in the T20 World Cup

At New York's Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on June 6, during Pakistan's opening T20 World Cup match against the USA, Azam Khan got into a violent argument with some members of the audience.

Azam Khan was out for a first-ball duck after Shadab Khan was dismissed with Pakistan at 98-4. USA left-arm spinner Nosthush Kenjige trapped him LBW.

After struggling during Pakistan's recent tour of England, Azam Khan was not impressive again when he was struck by a ball from Kenjige that slipped through to strike the leg stump. Pakistan was left reeling in 12.5 overs at 98-5 against a strong USA bowling attack after this dismissal.

Azam Khan seemed obviously irate with a part of the audience as he returned to the pavilion.

Azam Khan has found it difficult to have a big impact on Pakistan since his 2021 international debut. In 14 Twenty20 international games, he averages merely nine at the bat; his best score was an undefeated thirty against Ireland in Dublin last month.

Player of the Match went to USA skipper Monank Patel for his outstanding 50-run performance during the run chase. The squad is presently leading Group A's points standings after two straight wins. The stage is set for an electrifying clash as Pakistan gears up to face India on June 9, 2024, in the ICC T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place in New York.
