Babar Azam’s visible frustration was because of the umpire's repeated decision to change the ball during the second innings of the match, while the Peshawar Zalmi were defending their total of 199.
Repeated ball changes caused a heated moment between the on-field umpire and the Zalmi captain, Babar Azam. He kept arguing with the umpire for about two to three minutes, against the decision to change the ball for the second time within a short period.

Babar was against the ball change
With the ball in hand and a finger pointed towards the umpire, Babar continued the altercation for a significant amount of time. It was clear that the Peshawar Zalmi would keep playing with the old ball. However, the umpire remained firm on his decision, and the Babar Azam-led team handed a new ball.
Lahore Qalandars got a good foundation in the start as one of their openers, Fakhar Zaman, remained unbeaten on the track for an unbeaten 58-run innings from 47 balls. Abdullah Shafique, Charith Asalanka, Sikandar Raza, and Daniel Sams added their values with the bat in the run chase. While Zaman played an anchor role, on the other front, the other batters got the license to play against the opposing bowler with aggressive approaches.
Babar Azam-led team lost the contest
After the Peshawar Zalmi vs Lahore Qalandars match, the Zalmi is maintaining the number one position of the points table with 17 points and a net run rate of +2.324 from 10 matches. Multan Sultans, with 12 points from 9 games, are ranked second.
