The fielding performances of the Pakistan cricket team have come under a lot of criticism in the recent past. During the recently concluded Test series against Australia, there were several missed catches and fielding errors that left the fans frustrated. Pakistan fans were left disappointed once again when Babar Azam missed an extremely easy catch during the first T20I encounter against New Zealand in Auckland on Friday. Williamson missed a shot off the bowling of Abbas Afridi, and the ball went straight towards Babar at mid-on. It should have been an easy catch, but Babar misjudged it completely and ended up wasting a simple chance. Social media was not happy, and fans started roasting him for the missed opportunity.

Team Pakistan won the toss, and their new captain, Shaheen Shah Afridi, asked New Zealand to bat in the first Twenty20 international in Auckland on Friday. Experienced seam bowler Shaheen said he based his call on previous matches at Eden Park, which stages the first match of the five-game series.
