Muhammad Rizwan records: The Pakistan cricket team is currently on tour in Australia where a three-match ODI series is ongoing. Pakistan could have won the first game of the series but Pat Cummins did not make his dream come true. Cummins nearly won to take the match out of Pakistan’s hands. The second game is going on today. Meanwhile, in the second match, captain Mohammad Rizwan performed an amazing feat. No Pakistan captain has been able to do this in the history of ODI cricket.
Pakistan cricket team captain Mohammad Rizwan won the toss today and asked Australia to bat first. Maybe the last game was still fresh in his memory, when Australia won the game by chasing points. This time Pakistan will chase down the target. Meanwhile, when Australia batted, no batsmen survived. What is special is that in this innings, captain Mohammad Rizwan, who stood behind the wicket, took a total of 6 catches.
Rizwan sets Pakistan record as captain
Mohammad Rizwan became the second Pakistan wicketkeeper to take 6 catches in ODIs. At the beginning of 2015, Sarfran Khan took 6 catches as a wicket-keeper. Although he was not the captain in that game. Misbah-ul-Haq captained Pakistan 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 Pakistan cricket, Mohammad Rizwan became the first captain to take 6 catches in an ODI innings. Even though he had a chance to set a world record. He could have caught a seventh catch, but he dropped it. Just like that, they almost missed.
If we talk about the Australian innings, the team’s performance was quite disappointing. No batsman has been able to cross the 50-run mark. Steve Smith is Australia’s top scorer. He played 35 innings and struck out 48 balls. After that, the second highest score was 19 points, scored by Matthew Short. The entire team could not even complete 50 overs and were eliminated with just 163 runs. Now Pakistan has a chance to win this match and level the series.
