The second match of the 2022 edition of the Asia Cup is underway right now at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, where the Indian cricket team is up against the Pakistan cricket team. The Indian cricket team won the toss and elected to bowl first. They bowled Pakistan out for 147 runs in the first innings, with Mohammad Rizwan scoring 43 runs off 42 deliveries.
Rizwan was the top-scorer for the Pakistan cricket team. Experienced fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the most successful bowler from the Indian cricket team as he accounted for four wickets in his spell of four overs. He conceded 26 runs and picked up four wickets, including that of captain Babar Azam.
Speaking with the host broadcasters after the conclusion of the first innings of the Indian cricket team, Bhuvneshwar Kumar said:
“When we looked at the wicket, we thought there will be some swing. There wasn’t much swing but there was bounce. (Short ball plan) We’ve been playing each other for the last 4-5 years and know where to bowl to the opposition depending on what the pitch offers.”
Mohammad Rizwan seemed too excited while keeping the wickets for Pakistan in the 2nd innings
The Pakistan cricket team got off to a dream start in the second innings as debutant Naseem Shah got the better of KL Rahul on the second ball itself. In the absence of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem is playing for the Pakistan cricket team. The right-arm fast bowler rattled Rahul’s stumps and sent him back to the dressing room.
On the final ball of the same over, Naseem seemed to have got the outside edge of Rohit Sharma’s bat. Mohammad Rizwan, the wicket-keeper looked every confident. Later, when Shahnawaz Dahani was bowling, Rizwan celebrated when a ball went through Kohli’s bat and came to him. The batter was not out on both occasions.
Here are some of the top Twitter reactions:
Why is Rizwan celebrating every ball he catches behind the wicket as if it’s out?
