Mohammad Rizwan continued his impressive form in the World Cup 2023 with a 49-run knock against India in Match No.12 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The right-handed batter has been in scintillating form in the mega event and is currently the leading run-scorer of the tournament.
Mohammad Rizwan started the World Cup with a half-century against the Netherlands and then followed it up with an unbeaten 131 as Pakistan chased down a target of 345 with 10 balls to spare against New Zealand. Rizwan came to bat at No.4 against India after the dismissal of Imam-ul-Haq and got a lifeline early in the innings when an LBW decision was overturned in his favor.

The Pakistan batter then went on to put on a partnership of 81 runs with Babar Azam, who scored a fifty before being dismissed by Mohammed Siraj. Despite losing his skipper at the other end, Rizwan continued to bat positively and was on course for a half-century before he was dismissed by Jasprit Bumrah. However, his 49-run knock was enough to help Pakistan post a respectable total of 266 on the board.
Mohammad Rizwan has been in sublime form in the World Cup 2023 so far, and his 49-run knock against India was his third half-century in the tournament. He is currently the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 238 runs at an average of 79.33 and a strike rate of 100.85.
