With just three days to go before the blockbuster ODI World Cup contest between India and Pakistan gets underway at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the Men in Green's in-form wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan has fired a huge warning to the Men in Blue. Rizwan, who scored a match-winning century and helped his side pull off a heist against Sri Lanka on October 10 (Wednesday), said that Pakistan now have the momentum heading into the match against India as the Men in Green have won consecutive matches to begin their campaign.
"We now have momentum. Tomorrow, our next match, everyone knows that it is with India, but they will also come with a plan, we will also come with a plan," Rizwan said in a press conference after Pakistan's match against Sri Lanka.
Rizwan, who is leading all batters in terms of runs scored in the ongoing quadrennial competition, notched up a terrific century against Sri Lanka after registering a half-century against the Netherlands. Rizwan remained unbeaten 131 runs off 121 balls which he scored with the help of eight fours and three sixes. The right-handed batter has had a hot start to the tournament, scoring 199 runs in just two matches.
Pakistan are off to a fabulous start in the ongoing edition of the ODI World Cup. After defeating the Netherlands in their campaign opener, the Men in Green scripted history against Sri Lanka in Hyderabad to make it two wins in as many matches played. Babar Azam's team pulled off the highest successful run chase in ODI World Cup history against the Islanders.
It is important to note that India are undefeated against their arch-rivals Pakistan in ODI World Cup. The Men in Blue are gunning for their eighth win against the Men in Green while Pakistan are still hoping to open their account against India in World Cup.
