Pakistan finally seem to have found a dependable middle order batsman in ODIs with Babar Azam knocking off some valuable runs in the past few months. The no. 3 batsman is the second highest run-getter after Warner in ODIs in the last five months with 793 runs at an average of 56.64.

Azam has four hundreds to his name in the period under discussion, with three consecutive ones in a series against the West Indies. His current form means that Azam will be the most scrutinised batsman in the Pakistan line-up in the Champions Trophy.
