For his prolific innings of 78 runs, Rizwan was awarded Player of the match award. While in post-match presentation ceremony, he said, “It’s a proud moment for me. We keep things simple. It was a good batting track, we thought we were 10-15 short despite playing well. Our bowlers did well to defend the total.”
He also addressed the incident when he slipped during the match. “I always use spikes, but it was a bit slippery today,” he said.
While talking about the win and his performance, Rizwan said, “I believe in hard work and leave it to Allah for the rest. Some of the boundaries are big here. But we are playing the ball on the merit. Without a plan, it becomes difficult.”
The Men In Green will now face the hosts, New Zealand on Saturday in the second match of the tri-series.
