Babar Azam's journey in the BPL has been a mix of highs and lows. Starting the tournament with a match-winning half-century in the first game, he faced a setback against Khulna Tigers, managing only two runs from eight balls, with Mohammad Wasim Jr. dismissing him LBW.

However, Khulna Tigers' bowlers, led by Dasun Shanaka's impressive spell of 4 wickets for 16 runs, proved too strong. Rangpur Riders were eventually bowled out for 132 runs, handing Khulna Tigers a convincing victory.
