✅ What works (why he’s often strong vs Zimbabwe)

Babar has a solid record vs Zimbabwe in T20Is: in 7 matches he’s scored ~ 232 runs at an average close to 38.66 and a strike‑rate around 124.06.

He’s shown he can produce big innings: e.g. he once smashed 82 off 55 balls to lead Pakistan to an easy win vs Zimbabwe.

Recently — in the 2025 tri‑series — he played a class 74 (52) to help Pakistan post 195/5. That performance helped him equal the all‑time record for most T20I fifties.

⚠️ What’s tricky / where there’s risk

Despite his love vs Zimbabwe, his recent T20I form has been shaky — in the 2025 tri‑series match vs Zimbabwe he got out for a duck (0 off 3 balls), marking his 9th duck in T20Is. 0search1

Against better attacks or conditions, he can struggle to convert starts — i.e. good track record vs Zimbabwe doesn’t guarantee consistency always.
