Mohammad Rizwan created a big record, this feat was never done before for Pakistan
Mohammad Rizwan Record: The Pakistani cricket team is currently on a tour of Australia, where a three-match ODI series is being played. The Pakistani team could have won the very first match of the series, but Pat Cummins did not let its dream come true. Cummins had pulled the match from the jaws of Pakistan by almost winning it. Now the second match is going on today. Meanwhile, in the second match, captain Mohammad Rizwan has done an amazing feat. No Pakistani captain had been able to do this before in the history of ODI cricket.
Pakistan cricket team captain Mohammad Rizwan today won the toss and asked Australia to bat first. Perhaps the memories of the last match were fresh in his mind, when Australia had won the match by chasing runs. This time Pakistani team will chase the target. Meanwhile, when the Australian team was batting, none of the batsmen could survive. The special thing was that during the innings, captain Mohammad Rizwan, standing behind the wicket, took a total of 6 catches.
Rizwan made a record for Pakistan as captain
Mohammad Rizwan has become the second wicket-keeper for Pakistan to take six catches in an ODI match. Earlier in the year 2015, Sarfran Khan had taken 6 catches as a wicket keeper. Although he was not the captain in that match. Misbah ul Haq was captaining the Pakistani team in that match. Now Mohammad Rizwan has done the same thing. But he is the captain. That is, if we look at the statistics, then in the history of Pakistani cricket, Mohammad Rizwan has become the first captain who has taken six catches in an ODI innings. Although he had a chance to make a world record. He could have taken the seventh catch as well, but he dropped it. In this way they narrowly missed.
If we talk about Australian innings, the team’s performance was quite disappointing. Not a single batsman could even cross the 50 mark. Steve Smith scored the most runs for Australia. He played an innings of 35 runs playing 48 balls. After this, the second highest score was 19 runs, which was scored by Matthew Short. The entire team could not even play the full 50 overs and was out after scoring only 163 runs. Now Pakistan has a chance to win this match and bring the series on par.
