During the opening innings of the second ODI between Australia and Pakistan, Mohammad Rizwan added another hilarious moment to his portforlio when he asked Adam Zampa if he should contest the on-field decision upstairs.
In the 34th over, Naseem Shah made a short one with the fourth delivery. Getting as many runs as he could was Adam Zampa only goal with Australia at 153/9.
He continued, but was unsuccessful, in trying to hook the short delivery. On the way to Rizwan, the delivery appeared to have gone near his gloves, and he instantly made a caught-behind plea.
Funny enough, Rizwan asked Zampa if he heard any noise while he was making his way to Naseem and the others. “Every other moment, Rizwan is appealing,” Zampa joked. When Rizwan agreed to take the review as suggested by Zampa, it was an unexpectedly funny moment.

Here’s how the conversation between the two went about:
Rizwan: “You heard something?”
Zampa: “You seem to appeal for everything!”
Rizwan: “Can I take it now?”
Zampa: “Oh yeah, you should, you should take it.”
Rauf fifer rips Australia
It was a splendid spell of bowling by right-arm quick, Haris Rauf, who accounted for his second five-wicket haul in ODIs. The entire batting lineup of the hosts looked helpless against Rauf who was running in with gas on every single delivery.

Four of Rauf’s dismissals were caught by Rizwan. The fifth scalp Rauf secured was that of Pat Cummins, as Rizwan equalled Sarfaraz Ahmed’s tally of six catches in a single ODI to become the joint record-holder for Pakistan in the 50-over format.
