PAK vs HK: "Our Nation Demands It" - Mohammad Rizwan's Honest Reply On India vs Pakistan Fixtures
Updated - 03 Sep 2022, 06:30 PM
Pakistan’s wicket-keeper batter Mohammad Rizwan was the stand-out performer in Pakistan vs Hong Kong clash. The batter scored an unbeaten 78 runs in 57 balls and was quite instrumental in his knock. It won’t be wrong to say that he laid the foundation for Pakistan on a tacky pitch where the ball was keeping low. Hong Kong bowlers bowled with a lot of discipline as they didn’t give an inch to the batters where there was a good contest between bat & ball.
Rizwan would be relieved this time, as he didn’t throw his wicket at a crucial junction. The batter earlier had received a lot of flak for consuming balls against India. This time, the batter didn’t let the situation affect them as Babar Azam once again the skipper was dismissed in the initial stages of the power-play.
The management would be worried about Babar’s form as he has the capability of changing the facets of the match single-handedly.

Rizwan was seen addressing the media after the match. “We’ve jokingly convinced ourselves that it’s a best of three series. This is cricket and we’re always discussing about it, hoping we keep playing matches, going from match to match and into the finals. We always talk about this.”
“Obviously, we aim to improve our game and work hard because our nation demands it. The players in our current team are putting in the work and effort. There is a sense of camaraderie and we are trying to fulfil what our nation demands from us. And, as we all know, the end result is in the hands of the Almighty.

Mohammad Rizwan The Silent Assasin
In the last couple of years, Mohammad Rizwan has become a force to reckon with. He is not someone who plays rash shots from ball one; rather than he slowly takes the game away from the opposition by playing unorthodox shots.
He has become even more responsible as the wicket-keeper knows that Babar Azam has to be the aggressor in chief during the innings.
Mohammad Rizwan is often termed to be the next big thing in Cricket. He is a team man as he is often seen guiding the bowlers in crunch situations. This time, Rizwan would be targetted as he is a batter who can easily disturb the bowling lineup.
Rizwan is quite a busy player and it would be fascinating to see how he tackles the short ball barrage as earlier the entire team failed miserably.
