Babar Azam has scored only 202 runs in 11 innings in the Big Bash League. His strike rate is 103.06. In the qualifier match against Perth Scorchers, Babar Azam was out on the very second ball, his account was not even opened. As a result, Sydney team got bundled out for only 99 runs and lost by 48 runs at the hands of Perth. The amazing thing is that Babar Azam has come into the limelight in the Big Bash League not for his batting but for the wrong reasons. He was angry with Steve Smith. Captain Henriques himself revealed this. Smith had killed Babar by giving him a strike due to which the Pakistani player was deeply hurt.
