During the second T20I between Pakistan and Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), Babar Azam was targeted by a group of Pakistani spectators while fielding near the boundary. The fans mocked the former captain, telling him, “Have some shame, Babar Azam. There’s no place for you in the T20 team. Go back, you don’t deserve to be here.” Initially ignoring the insults, Babar eventually turned around and gave them a furious death stare.
Can anyone translate into English what the fans are saying to Babar Azam?
I think someone is saying something bad.#AUSvPAK

Despite his reaction, Pakistan lost the match by 13 runs, giving Australia a 2-0 lead in the series. Pakistan could only manage 134 runs in reply to Australia’s 147-9, despite Usman Khan’s 52. Australia’s Spencer Johnson was the standout, taking 5 wickets for 26 runs.

Australian captain Josh Inglis praised his team, saying, “We thought we were there or thereabouts, and I thought the way the bowlers went about it was brilliant. There are so many options in this team I can go to. Every time I turned to Johnson tonight, he got a wicket. The way they played tonight was really good.”
Pakistan struggled with dropped catches, allowing Australia’s openers to put on a rapid 52-run stand before Rauf’s double strike. Despite two dropped catches, Marcus Stoinis fell for 14.
