Pakistan’s T20 World Cup Win Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan Shine
The team will take a break and rest in their hotel today, meanwhile training schedule will be announced in due course.
Pakistan is scheduled to face Ireland on June 16 at Central Broward Park Stadium in Lauderhill Florida. However, there is a 47% chance of rain on that day.
For the unversed Pakistan registered their first victory in the T20 World Cup 2024 yesterday against Canada.
Set to chase 107 Pakistan amassed the total for the loss of three wickets and 15 balls to spare courtesy of an anchoring second-wicket partnership between Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan.
The seven-wicket victory propelled Pakistan to third in Group A standings of the T20 World Cup 2024 with two points in three matches while Canada slipped to fourth due to an inferior net run rate
Pakistan’s new opening pair of Saim Ayub (6) and Rizwan failed to give them a decent start as the left-handed batter perished in the fifth over with just 20 runs on the board.
Babar then joined Rizwan in the middle and the duo anchored the run chase with a gutsy partnership.
They added 63 runs for the second wicket before Babar fell prey to Dilon Heyliger in the 15th over. He scored a run-a-ball 33 with the help of one boundary and a six.
Rizwan partnered briefly with Fakhar Zaman who scored just four and perished on the second delivery of the 18th over with just three more required.
Usman Khan then hit the winning runs for Pakistan when he guided one towards the midwicket region for a couple.
Mohammad Rizwan remained Pakistan’s top-scorer, with an unbeaten 53 off as many deliveries hitting three boundaries and a six.
Dillon Heyliger led the bowling charge for Canada with 2/18 while Jeremy Gordon made one scalp.
