Rashid Latif

Former Pakistan skipper Rashid Latif has picked his best batsman at number four in ODIs after his team’s win over New Zealand in the second ODI. The Men in Green won the second ODI by seven wickets as they chased down 337 required to win with 8 balls to spare.

New Zealand posted a daunting total of 336/5. Daryl Mitchell scored his third ODI ton as he scored 129 off 119 deliveries. Skipper Tom Latha,m scored 98 and opener Chad Bowes scored 51 off 51 balls at the top. Haris Rauf picked 4 for 78 as he and all the other Pakistan bowlers were expensive and leaked runs.

Fakhar Zaman scored an unbeaten 180 in the chase as he hit 17 fours and six sixes in his innings. Babar Azam batting at number three scored 65.

The Kiwi bowlers managed to take just three wickets from the opposition as they were taken to the cleaners. The two spinners Ish Sodhi and Rachin Ravindra went for 79 and 75 respectively. Meanwhile, Rashid Latif nominated Mohammad Rizwan as his choice at number four for Pakistan. The right-hander has scored 742 runs in 20 innings at an average of 43.64 batting at that number.

Rashid Lastif Backs Mohammad Rizwan To Bat At Number Four

Latif took to Twitter to express his opinion. “Best batter at No. 4 Mohammad Rizwan #PAKvNZ excellent batting back to back centuries by Fakhar and Mitchell, congratulations Congratulations Team Pakistan,” Latif wrote in a Twitter post.

Rizwan opens in T20Is along with Babar Azam but Latif feels that the right-hander is more suited to batting at number four in ODIs. He is a good replacement for someone like Shoaib Malik who batted at number four for Pakistan in ODIs for years.

Pakistan leads the five-match ODI series 2-0 and will play the next match on May 3, Wednesday. New Zealand managed to draw the T20I series and are now eyeing a comeback in ODIs too.

Image
Sri Lankan opener Pathum Nissanka scripted history as he scored his maiden ODI double ton in the first ODI against Afghanistan in Pallekele. The Lankans scored a mammoth 381/3 in 50 overs. He became the first Sri Lankan batsman to score a double century in ODI cricket. He surpassed Sanath Jayasuriya’s career-best ODI score of 189 to achieve this rare feat. He got to the landmark hitting a boundary four of Afghan pacer Fareed Malik. Nissanka finished with 210 off 139 deliveries as he hit 20 fours and 8 sixes in his innings at a strike rate of 151.07. He first added 182 runs for the first wicket with Avishka Fernando (88). Kusal Mendis the captain scored 16, Charith Asalanka an unbeaten 7 as Nissaka added another crucial stand of 120 runs with Sadeera. Every Afghanistan bowler was expensive in this match. Fareed Malik and Mohammad Nabi were the only two bowlers to pick up wickets. Every bowler barring Nabi conceded runs at an excess of seven runs per over. Malik went for 79 runs off h...

“It’s MS Dhoni show” – CSK fans happy despite defeat to DC as India legend shines with excellent cameo

Image
In the 13th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) , the Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals (DC) took on the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Sunday, March 31. Delhi Capitals won the toss and surprisingly elected to bat first in the match. They made two changes to their playing XI as Kuldeep Yadav, who had a niggle, and Ricky Bhui were replaced by Prithvi Shaw and Ishant Sharma. Chennai Super Kings, unsurprisingly, fielded an unchanged playing XI. Playing in his first match in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Prithvi Shaw set the stage on fire and gave a message to the DC team management. He played his natural attacking brand of cricket and was involved in a terrific partnership of 93 runs with veteran opening batsman David Warner. Shaw smashed 43 runs off 27 balls during his stay in the middle and David Warner slammed 52 runs off 25 balls. The DC openers wer...

“Hardik Pandya leave captaincy” – Twitter reacts as RR’s Riyan Parag, Trent Boult hand MI their 3rd consecutive defeat

Image
The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai hosted the 14th match of the Indian Premier League 2024 (IPL 2024) between the Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians (MI) and Sanju Samson-led Rajasthan Royals (RR) on Monday, April 1. Rajasthan Royals (RR) won the toss and as expected elected to bowl first in the match. They made one notable change to their bowling unit as Sandeep Sharma, who was unfit, made the way for Nandre Burger in the playing XI. The decision to have a go with the ball turned out to be excellent for the visiting team as the star left-arm pacer Trent Boult made the Mumbai batters dance to his tunes. Trent Boult dismissed Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir for golden ducks on the 5th and 6th ball of the first over of the innings. MI were forced to bring in Dewald Brevis ahead of the second over as an impact player. Nandre Burger came to bowl the second over and he bowled some brilliant lines and lengths but wasn’t able to pick any wickets. Then, Trent Boult came again and dismissed Brevis ...
