Ahmed Shehzad brutally roasted Mohammad Rizwan for repeated failures against the pacers. Mocking Rizwan's batting technique, the former Pakistan batter said that whenever Rizwan went to face a pacer, it looked like a dance performance rather than cricketing techniques.
Cricket experts have been launching attacks on the Pakistan cricket team for their ignominious batting against Bangladesh in Dhaka. On paper, the away team was looking strong enough to win the match on March 11, which turned out to be false when the home team claimed it with ease.
Bangladesh pacer Nahid Rana single-handedly destroyed Pakistan's batting line-up
Bangladesh pacer Nahid Rana ran havoc at the Shere Bangla National Stadium. The touring team, which went to bat first after losing the toss, started their innings in a good way, with their in-form opener Sahibzada Farhan.
As soon as Nahin Rana came to the bowling, the opposing team's batting order collapsed. The pacer took 5 wickets in 7 overs, for an economy rate of 3.40. Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman, two other Bangladeshi pacers, claimed one wicket each. The pacer trio of Bangladesh, taking 7 wickets, exposed Pakistan's weakness against seam bowling.

The number 4 batter of the line-up scored only 10 runs with a couple of 4s against 20 balls before being dismissed by Rana.
Ahmed Shehzad, a former Pakistan batter, criticised Rizwan's batting style against pacers. The former batter mentioned the New Zealand series, when Rizwan.
