Melbourne: Pakistan’s run machine Mohammad Rizwan’s weakness against the left-arm bowler came to the fore once again. In the title match of T20 World Cup 2022, he was dismissed after scoring just 15 runs. This is the fourth time in 7 T20 International matches, while a left arm fast bowler dismissed Rizwan. He had hit Chris Woakes for a six just a few balls earlier. He could not even enjoy his shot properly that the happiness on his face disappeared.
The second ball of the 5th over of the innings was coming out of the off-stumps and Rizwan bat sat afloat. Sam Curran’s very clever ball, this ball took the inside edge of the bat and went into the stumps. By the time Rizwan understood something, the stumps were uprooted. Earlier, Rizwan had hit an 83m six in the first ball of the fourth over. He hit a pickup shot on the slower ball, which fell outside the square leg boundary. At this moment, the happiness on his face was visible.
