Let us tell you that Mohammad Rizwan has done wonders as soon as he came to Indian soil. This wicketkeeper-batsman of Pakistan cricket team has scored a brilliant century in the World Cup warm-up match. Let us tell you that against New Zealand, Rizwan completed his century in 92 balls. Mohammad Rizwan has come to India for the first time and as soon as he arrived he scored a century which is very special for him. Rizwan's form was going very badly. He was not able to perform anything special in the Asia Cup, so scoring a century with his bat before the start of the World Cup 2023 is a news of relief for him and the Pakistan team.

When Mohammad Rizwan stepped on the crease, Pakistan was in trouble. Imad Wasim and Abdullah Shafiq were dismissed cheaply but after this Mohammad Rizwan took over the innings with captain Babar Azam and gave a befitting reply to New Zealand by making a total partnership of 114 runs for the third wicket. Rizwan, as usual, took time to settle down and then took on the Kiwi spinners with his sweep shots.

* Babar-Rizwan showed their strength:

Let us tell you that Babar and Rizwan had scored the first 50 runs of the partnership in only 59 balls and their partnership touched the 100 mark in 97 balls. However, Babar Azam also played amazing shots in this partnership. Babar played an excellent inning of 80 runs. Babar Azam missed out on scoring a century but Rizwan scored a century. Rizwan retired hurt after scoring a century. Let us tell you that in the warm-up match, Rizwan declared himself retired to give a chance to other batsmen.

* Pakistan's tension:

Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam have scored runs as usual but Pakistan's biggest tension still remains. Actually, Pakistan's opening pair has not been able to perform for a long time. Fakhar Zaman was also failing continuously, so Abdullah Shafiq was tried but he also proved to be a flop in the warm-up match. Apart from this, Imam Ul Haq was also seen kneeling in front of quality bowling as usual. If the situation remains like this then there will be more pressure on both Babar and Rizwan during the World Cup, which is not at all good news for Pakistan.
