Pakistan wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan is back among the runs finally, as he scored an unbeaten 90 against New Zealand in the fourth T20I at Christchurch on Friday. His late blast in the innings, took Pakistan to a respectable 158/5, while all the other batsmen struggled to get runs on the day.
Babar Azam, who scored three fifties in the series, failed to continue his good run, and was dismissed for 19. But what really mattered that, Rizwan clicked for the team as he scored his runs in 63 balls, with the aid of six fours and and two sixes. He strung a partnership of 32 with Mohammad Nawaz in the end, with the latter scoring 21 from 9 deliveries.
