Arshdeep Singh consigns Babar Azam to a golden duck

Arshdeep Singh fetches a wicket off the first ball he has ever bowled in a World Cup. He pitches it up on a good length and swings it back to Babar Azam, who misses it completely to get rapped on the pad. That looked plumb as the finger goes up. It was only the third time in 49 T20Is since Jan 2021 both Babar and Rizwan have been dismissed for single figure scores.

Shan Masood is leading the revival here, in the company of Iftikhar Ahmed. The scoring rate is under six, which is almost criminal in T20s these days, but at least Pakistan have a partnership going.
