Babar Azam led Karachi Kings have suffered a fourth consecutive loss in the seventh edition of HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL).

In the last match, Babar's 63-ball 90 (included 12 fours and a six) was not enough as Peshawar Zalmi down Karachi Kings by nine runs to get two valuable points at the table.

Meanwhile, former Pakistan captain Inzamamul Haq has lashed out at Babar Azam for not being able to finish the match with a win.

The legendary batter accepted the fact that the Kings have a weak batting line-up but If a player bats complete 20 overs then he must take his side to the victory stand.

“If you are the world’s number one cricket player and stands on wicket throughout 20 overs then you should be finishing the match otherwise get out without playing complete overs, said Inzamam in a program at a local news channel.

"The ability to finish matches has to be there as it is the first sign of being a great player," he added by emphasising Babar needs to think on this.

Meanwhile, Inzamam also criticised Karachi Kings' team selection and batting order.
