Fast bowlers get a lot of help on Australian pitches, but if the batsman adjusts to the conditions, he can easily hit big sixes. It seems that Pakistan’s Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are completely unaware of this. On January 12, Rizwan played such a slow innings for Melbourne Renegades in the BBL that the captain had to declare him retired out.
The 33rd match of the Big Bash League was played between Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Renegades in Sydney today. In this match, Melbourne team came to bat first. When Mohammad Rizwan came to bat at fourth position, the team’s score was 83 runs at the loss of 2 wickets in 9.1 overs. Melbourne Renegades were moving the scoreboard at a run rate of more than 9.
Rizwan did tuk-tuk, captain threw him out
Mohammad Rizwan was batting so slowly that Melbourne team could add only 42 runs in the next 6 overs. Rizwan scored 26 runs in 23 balls and his strike rate remained around 100 throughout the innings. Rizwan was not able to make the connection between ball and bat even after playing 23 balls.
Looking at the condition of the first 10 overs, the Melbourne team would be dreaming of reaching a score of around 200. But Rizwan’s innings had pushed the run-rate back. As a result, the team management declared him retired out after the 18th over and called him out of the field.
