Babar Azam's struggles with the bat were evident as he managed just 10 against Sri Lanka.

This was after his encouraging form in the warm-up games where he scored 80 and 90.

Since his 151 against Nepal in the Asia Cup, Babar has floundered.

He scored 17 (22) vs Bangladesh, 10 (24) vs India and 29 (35) vs Sri Lanka.

In the ODI World Cup, he has 5 (18) vs Netherlands and 10 (15) vs Sri Lanka.

If the batter does not perform in that match, many will question his credentials as one of the world's best batters.
