The height of the throw made it harder to evade for Rizwan but for someone who generally dives to make his ground all the time while running between the wickets, this is a rare instance of him ducking for cover and the only reason is that he isn’t wearing his helmet.

“The height of the throw made it harder to evade Rizwan but for someone who generally dives to make his ground all the time while running between the wickets, this is a rare instance of him ducking for cover and the only reason is that he isn’t wearing his helmet. He loves sweeping against spin and no helmet makes it even more bizarre,” Ashwin maintained.

Mohammad Rizwan did not ground his bat in the crease, as he jumped on his way to reach the non-striker’s end on Wednesday, as the direct hit of Dipendra Singh Airee broke the stumps with Mohammad Rizwan failing to put in a dive to get the crease as he was not taking having helmet during his batting against spinners.

After the dismissal of the batter, Pakistan was in a bit of trouble before Babar Azam and Iftikhar Ahmed formed a brilliant partnership in the final few overs including 129 runs in the last overs to help the Men in Green post a massive total at the end of 50 overs.

The Men in Green put on a dominating show against Nepal in the group stage on their home soil and the Babar Azam-led side will look to come over the top against India after putting up some impressive performance in the ODI format of the game.
