Dubai: Criticism of Pakistan opener Muhammad Rizwan’s batting in the Asia Cup cricket final. The main criticism is that Rizwan’s batting is not suitable for T20. Rhys Wan scored 55 runs in the match. He faced 49 balls. Rizwan’s innings consisted of one six and four boundaries.
But the criticism is that Rizwan played a slow innings when he needed to bat. Former Pakistan bowler Shuhaib Akhtar is at the forefront of criticism. “Getting 45 off 45 balls in T20 is a problem. Akhtar said that it will be a useless innings. Akhtar also did not forget to praise the Sri Lankan bowlers. Former star Wasim Akram also came forward against Rizwan. The criticism was against the player’s batting against Hong Kong. Akram was trolled on social media for criticizing Rizwan that day.
Akram’s reaction was like what happened now. Rizwan scored 78 runs off 58 balls against Hong Kong. Rizwan’s batting is being criticized on social media. All Pakistan fans say that slow pace in T20 is not good. Meanwhile, Pakistan coach Saqlain Mushtaq came in support of Rizwan. Mushtaq’s response was that everyone has a different batting style.
This combination is not working. Pakistan has to look into a lot of things. Fakhar, Iftikhar, Khushdil all need to be looked into. And Rizwan, 50 off 50 is not going to work anymore. Doesn’t benefit Pakistan.
Hats off to Sri Lanka. What a teamFull video: https://t.co/rYk3d01K65
