Mohammed Rizwan: The Pakistan cricket team has suffered a crushing defeat of 13 runs in the second match of the three-match T20I series being played against Australia. After this defeat, captain Mohammad Rizwan said that Pakistan suffered a big blow in the second T20 match against Australia due to dropping many catches, and due to this, the team lost the match.
Marcus Stoinis got two lifelines when Salman Agha and Shaheen Afridi dropped their catches in the sixth and eighth overs. Later, Babar Azam dropped Tim David's catch at mid-wicket. Rizwan praised the bowlers but said that Pakistan had to face defeat due to missed opportunities.
Catching the catch is very important- Rizwan.
Mohammad Rizwan said in the presentation that 'The bowlers bowled really well. But if you drop important catches, it will make you lose the match. We all know that batting on the pitch was not easy. Taking catches was very important.' Talking about the match, after being asked to field first, Pakistan restricted Australia to 147 runs for the loss of nine wickets. Later, the Pakistan team was bowled out for 134 runs in 19.4 overs.
Harris Rauf likes bowling in Australia- Rizwan.
Rizwan praised Harris Rauf, who took the wickets of Jake Fraser-McGurk, Inglis, David, and Xavier Bartlett and finished with figures of 4-0-22-4. Rauf also equaled Shadab Khan's record for most wickets in men's T20Is for Pakistan. Rizwan said Rauf likes bowling on Australian pitches as he can extract pace and bounce. "Harris loves Australia because there is pace and bounce," Rizwan said. Despite losing the series, Pakistan may go into the third T20I unchanged.
