Rizwan was named Pakistan’s ODI and T20I captain exactly a week before the series. The wicketkeeper-batsman has been an integral part of Pakistan’s teams across all formats. He is a reliable wicketkeeper behind the stumps and a consistent run-scorer for his country.

Pakistan had a wonderful day with the ball. The Men in Green reduced Australia’s ODI score to its lowest against Pakistan-163. Fast bowlers Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf had a productive day, taking eight wickets between them.

Afridi concluded with 3-26 in 8 overs, while Rauf claimed five wickets in his excellent bowling stint. The right-arm fast bowler ended with 5-29 from 8 overs. Other Quicks Naseem Shah and Mohammad Hasnain picked one wicket each.

Adam Zampa fools Mohammad Rizwan into taking a DRS review; Rizwan left red-faced

During the Australia innings, Mohammad Rizwan found himself red-faced after Adam Zampa goaded him to take s review, that was turned down.

In the 34th over of Australia’s innings, Naseem Shah bowled a bouncer to Adam Zampa, which the batter attempted to pull but missed. Rizwan requested a caught behind, but the umpire shook his head.

After discussing with the bowler, Mohammad Rizwan unexpectedly opted to consult with Adam Zampa about whether he had edged it or not. The Australian legspinner requested that the Pakistan captain conduct the review. Surprisingly, Rizwan agreed and went for it.

However, the ball was too far from the bat, and the glove was also missing. As a result, the on-field judgment stood, and Zampa remained unblemished at the crease.

The conversation between Mohammad Rizwan and Adam Zampa was caught on the stump mic. Rizwan asked Zampa whether he heard something or not. Zampa replied by saying, “You seem to appeal for everything”.

The Pakistan captain then asked Zampa, “Should I take the review now?”.

Zampa was quick to answer and said, “You should take it”. The commentators shared a laugh after hearing the conversation on the stump mic.
