Sand artist meticulously sketches Babar Azam on beach
Sand painters from Gadani in Balochistan send their best wishes to Babar Azam and meticulously made his sketch on beach.
In order to wish Pakistan’s cricket team well in their semi-final, sand artists from the coastal town of Gadani in the Balochistan province gathered here and meticulously sketched images of national team members on the beach.
The first semifinal match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 between Pakistan and New Zealand was scheduled to take place at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) today. Pakistan placed second in Group 2 in the super 12 round, while New Zealand won Group 1.
Within an hour, the group of young, creative individuals working with sand created sketches of Babar Azam, the captain of the Pakistani cricket team, and the T20 World Cup trophy.
One of the performers, Sameer, said, “We want Babar Azam to win the final after qualifying in the semi-final and bring this trophy to Pakistan.”

“Additionally, by creating a sketch of Babar Azam near Gadani Beach, we were able to demonstrate Baloch support for the Pakistani cricket captain,” said Sameer.
Pakistan secures a semifinal spot.
The group led by Babar Azam prevailed by seven wickets in the semifinals. The Men in Green easily attained the 153-run mark that the Black Caps had set for Pakistan.
Mohammad Rizwan, the wicketkeeper-batsman, and captain Babar Azam combined for a 105-run partnership. The partnership was broken when New Zealand dismissed Babar for 53 in the 12th over. Pakistan needed to make 47 runs off of 43 balls at that point.
But the Men In Green had made significant progress by that point. The scoreboard was maintained moving along by Rizwan and Mohammad Haris till the wicketkeeper went out caught at run out at 57.
The final ball of the 19th over resulted in Haris being caught at short fine leg. Pakistan won the game by seven wickets in the very next over.
