Mohammad Rizwan news
Coming to the match, the first T20I at Brisbane was cut short due to rain. Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl first. Australia posted 93/4 in seven overs, with Maxwell (43 in 19 balls, with five boundaries and three sixes) and Marcus Stoinis (21* in seven balls, with two fours and a six) standing out with the bat.
This tweet quickly went viral, earning praise from fans in both countries for Rizwan's empathy and sensitivity.
Babar said he is hopeful that Pakistan would come back from the England series and win against New Zealand.
Azam and Rizwan are Pakistan's number one opening pair, their below-par showing here has prompted experts to ask the team management to push the captain down the batting order.
Rizwan lies atop the Men's T20I Player Rankings for batters and his form throughout September helped illustrate why he sits at the top of the list.
After Virat Kohli slammed his second consecutive fifty in as many matches for India to post a competitive 181/7, Rizwan also got his half-century in as many games with a 51-ball 71.
Rizwan, who was adjudged 'Player of the Match' for his unbeaten 78 off 57 balls against Hong Kong and carried his bat throughout the match, insisted that his team is trying to keep things simple ahead of the clash against India in order to reach the final.
Arthur believes Pakistan will continue to struggle if they continue with their same batting template.
