Pakistan's captain, Mohammad Rizwan, played a magnificent innings against South Africa in the ongoing Tri-Series 2025 to help qualify for the finals. The hosts chased down a target of 353 runs in 49 overs, thanks to Rizwan and Salman Agha's century. The day surely belonged to Agha, as he grabbed a brilliant catch in the first innings.
For an amazing performance, Agha won the Player of the Match award, while Rizwan won the 'Striker of the Match' award. While receiving the award, Rizwan told the presenter, 'Surf bhijwa dena' because a dishwashing brand presented the award. It was a funny moment, and the people present around ended up laughing.
Watch the video here:
Rizwan scored 122 runs off 128 balls, including nine boundaries and three sixes, while Salman Agha scored 134 runs in 103 balls, including 16 boundaries and two sixes. He played a match-winning innings and maintained his strike rate. Pakistan will play New Zealand in the Tri-Series finals.
Everyone knows cricket is by chance: Mohammad Rizwan
Skipper Mohammad Rizwan praised his teammates for their brilliant performance in the game. He also spoke about the fielding, which has improved a lot ahead of the Champions Trophy. It will be interesting to watch Pakistan in the upcoming ICC tournament because the batters look in full form.
"Everyone knows cricket is by chance. Thanks to the Almighty for helping us with the record chase. I thought we could keep them to 300 but with the way Klaasen played, he took them to 350. When we finished our bowling and were going back, couple of the guys reminded us that we have chased such totals before and that motivated us. I am getting angry (with the misfields) because the players have told me to show emotions. Our fielding has to improve with the Champions Trophy coming up," said Mohammad Rizwan.
