Mohammad Rizwan's captaincy has changed the shape of the Pakistan players' approach on the field. The bowlers have become more attacking, and the fielders have become vigilant. With confidence in their approach, the bowlers have bowled out Australia for just 163 runs in 35 overs. The fun part is that the match is happening in Australia. So, a collapse like this in their own backyard is humiliating and disappointing at the same time.
An interesting thing happened on the field during the game when Adam Zampa was batting. Naseem Shah bowled a beautiful delivery, and the ball went past the batter. Now, keeper Rizwan claimed that he heard the noise of the bat hitting the ball, but to reconfirm it, he went on to ask the batter himself. Zampa, with a smile, replied, 'You are appealing for everything," to which Rizwan said, "So can I take the review then."
Watch the video here:
The fun banter ended when the captain went for a review, but Zampa survived because the bat didn't come in contact with the ball, and the third umpire gave it non-out. Zampa went on to hit 18 runs but was eventually dismissed by Shaheen Afridi.
Mohammad Rizwan takes six catches in a single ODI game vs Australia
Mohammad Rizwan was on the verge of creating history by taking seven catches in an ODI game. However, he dropped one sitter and had the chance to create history. His positive attitude on the field pumped up the entire team to show great intent throughout the first innings. Rizwan's captaincy has brought in a lot of changes, which will be visible in the upcoming games.
Pakistan have a strong chance of winning the game since the target is extremely low. If the batters don't make any unwanted errors, they will win the game and remember it for a long time. The series will become a draw, and the last game will be the decider.
