Babar Azam and Steve Smith's Funny Field Mix-Up

During a recent Big Bash League match, star cricketers Babar Azam and Steve Smith, playing as teammates for the Sydney Sixers, were involved in a humorous on-field incident. A miscommunication between the two while attempting to field a shot resulted in the ball reaching the boundary, gifting runs to the opposing team. This moment, caught by commentators, added a lighthearted element to the game.

The on-field confusion unfolded when a batter hit the ball towards the boundary. Both Smith and Azam sprinted to intercept, but neither dived to stop it, leading to a boundary. On a subsequent ball, Smith managed to cut off a similar shot, with Azam making a chase but being directed by Smith not to intervene.

Ahead of the season, Babar Azam had voiced his enthusiasm for joining the Sydney Sixers and playing alongside Steve Smith, viewing it as a significant opportunity to enhance his skills while experiencing Australian cricket. This collaboration follows a brief period where they were slated to play together previously, though that match was unfortunately washed out.
