T20 World Cup: Former Pakistan batter Rashid Latif criticised former captain Babar Azam for his approach in the Champions Trophy opener against New Zealand in Karachi as the hosts suffered a 60-run defeat on ICC tournament's return in the country after 1996.

Chasing 321, Babar contributed 64 in 90 balls while Salman Agha and Kushdil Shah scored quickfire 42 and 69, respectively but it was not enough to take the side over the line in the tournament opener.

After the match, Pakistan fans and former cricketers raised concerns regarding Babar's poor strike rate in the high-scoring chase. Latif called the backlash right adding that Babar should have taken risks during his stay at the crease.
