Pakistan’s inning started with Babar and Rizwan playing a match-winning performance. Captain Babar Azam (68 not out off 52 balls), wicketkeeper-opener Mohammad Rizwan (79 not out off 55 balls) scored match-winning half-centuries for Pakistan. And they got the job done in their style, with Rizwan throwing in Shami twice fours, and 6 sixes to lead his team to victory and cap off a historic day for Pakistan.
Pakistan recorded their first-ever win against India in Men’s T20 World Cup. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam’s unbeaten partnership is now the highest opening partnership of 152 runs in the men’s T20 World Cup.
