ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan (345/4) complete the highest run-chase in World Cup history to defeat Sri Lanka (344/9) by 6 wickets

Cricket is team sport, you need support cast too, and Rizwan is excellent in that regard.. most of ABD's good innings would've been in losing cause if there's no Amla there..
That's a fair argument however amla is an opener and anchors, Rizzu at no 4 is not good.

He performs only when the openers imam and Babar depart early so he can build that platform.

But the argument is more or less fair, I'd like him take the team home for once like amla has on occasion.
 
This could destroy the momentum, if he has to go out
 
If Pakistan ein this then not only will this be the highest chase in WC history, but it will restore faith, and silence the haters!
 
The whole match needs to Stop for his drama theatrics, now all of twitter will call him a Gladiator 😂😂
 
Rizwan retiring would be bad, becuase Saud is still settling in, dont need a new batter in yet.
 
Issue with Rizwan going out is that I imagine the cramping muscle will just lock up even more.

He needs some solid rest after this game.
 
I think Rizwan should retire hurt. He is unlikely to perform quick singles and doubles with this cramp.
 
It was a similar kind of situation in asia cup 2010, when Afridi hit century vs SL and was struggling with cramps, eventually Pak lost the match.
 
Problem is if Rizwan retires Chacha comes in whose very horrible with taking singles at the start, more and more pressure will come. Can't afford that now. Need one set batsman on the field.
