Asia Cup 2023 : Rizwan, Iftikhar Fight Back As Pakistan Set Lanka A Stiff Target Of 252 Runs

By IANS News September 14, 2023 • 22:48 PM View: 940

A superb rearguard 108-run partnership between Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed, the highest for the sixth wicket in Asia Cup, after the early fall of wickets, helped Pakistan post 252/7 in 42 overs in a rain-delayed match in the Super 4 stage at the R.Premadasa Stadium, here on Thursday.

The start for Pakistan wasn’t what they expected, as yet again Falkhar Zaman departed early. Skipper Babar Azam and Abdullah Shafique held the inning and added 64 runs for the second wicket as Shafique reached his half-century.
