The wicketkeeper and batsman of Pakistan cricket team Mohammad produced a brilliant knock that the cricket world would remember for a long time. Chasing a big target of 345 runs against Sri Lanka on Tuesday, Rizwan registered an unbeaten knock of 131 runs to take his team home. With Pakistan next going to take on India in Ahmedabad, Rizwan sounded confident of a victory against the home team, saying his side has momentum after beating the Lankans in a tough contest. In fact, the wicketkeeper and batsman also said that Babar Azam & Co. would go with the same plan against Rohit Sharma's men.
In the post-match conference, he said, "Our next match is against India, and this will give us confidence, and we will go with the same plan. We now have momentum. Tomorrow, our next match, everyone knows that it is with India, but they will also come with a plan, and we will also come with a plan."
After playing two matches in Hyderabad, Pakistan is now set to travel to Ahmedabad for their third match of the World Cup in 2023. Having been in Hyderabad since reaching India, Rizwan said that he found quite a few similarities between the wicket at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium and Rawalpindi.
Rizwan further said, "And where you talked about Hyderabad, I felt like I was playing a match in Pindi. The way the crowd gave love today—and not just me—the whole Pakistan team gave love. In fact, they supported Sri Lanka too. I am happy that the crowd in Hyderabad has supported cricket, both Sri Lanka and us. I had a lot of fun with them.”
