Pakistan’s wicket-keeper-batsman, Mohammad Rizwan, displayed remarkable resilience by crafting a splendid century, even as he battled cramps during a marathon partnership with Abdullah Shafique. This incredible feat prompted viral commentary remarks from Simon Doull and Matthew Hayden. Rizwan’s innings reached its pinnacle when he struck a sensational six against Dhananjaya Da Silva, sending the ball soaring over the cover boundary. It was a moment that would go down in cricketing history, accentuated by the evident pain Rizwan was enduring due to his cramps.

In the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 match, Pakistan was locked in a record-breaking run chase against Sri Lanka at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad. Pursuing a daunting target of 345, Mohammad Rizwan delivered a brilliant performance despite his physical discomfort.

The situation looked grim for Pakistan at the start of their chase, as both Imam-Ul-Haq and skipper Babar Azam fell early. However, Mohammad Rizwan rose to the occasion, forming a stunning partnership worth 176 runs with Abdullah Shafique. Rizwan’s incredible determination led him to secure the seventh ODI century of his career, while Shafique marked his World Cup debut with a maiden century.

During this high-stakes match, one particular incident that caught the world’s attention was Mohammad Rizwan’s breathtaking shot that sent the ball sailing over the cover boundary off Dhananjaya Da Silva’s delivery. The euphoria of the shot was, however, short-lived as Rizwan’s cramps took over.

The commentary from Simon Doull and Matthew Hayden in the box, which quickly went viral on social media, added another layer of drama to the spectacle. Doull’s exclamation, “Get him in the movies. Find the long-range sniper who took him,” and Hayden’s comment, “He is not sure which part of the body he needs to clutch next,” resonated with cricket fans worldwide. The legendary Pakistan cricketer Wasim Akram was also in the commentary box during this gripping incident.

Earlier in the day, Sri Lanka had won the toss and chosen to bat first, amassing a formidable total of 344 runs. Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama both notched centuries in a remarkable display of batting prowess. However, Hasan Ali’s four-wicket haul helped curtail Sri Lanka’s run-scoring, preventing them from crossing the 400-run mark, which had seemed plausible at one point.

Pakistan appeared poised to maintain their unbeaten record against Sri Lanka in ODI World Cups, having won all seven previous encounters between the two teams in this prestigious tournament. Pakistan entered this game on the back of a victory over the Netherlands, while Sri Lanka had suffered a defeat at the hands of South Africa. The cricketing world now eagerly anticipates the outcome of this thrilling encounter.
