Babar joined the National T20 Cup in the 2nd phase of the tournament and the impact he has had on his team has been quite clear. Central Punjab only won 1 of 5 matches before his arrival, after Babar’s arrival they have won 2 out of 3 matches. They are now in a solid position to qualify for the semi-finals of the tournament.
