KARACHI: Mohammad Rizwan shared his thoughts after Rawalpindiz eight consecutive defeat in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) 11.
Rawalpindiz posted 166 in their 20 overs, thanks to a half-century from Daryl Mitchell and a late cameo from Dian Forrester.
In reply, Sultans chased down the target within 18 overs, losing four wickets in the process. Steve Smith starred with the bat, scoring 56 off 31 balls with the aid of three sixes and five fours.
The loss marked Mohammad Rizwan’s Rawalpindiz eighth consecutive loss in the tournament.
Following the match, Rizwan highlighted the shortcomings and praised Steve Smith for his half-century.
“We had targeted 170 on this pitch, but credit to Steve Smith for his [match winning] innings,” he said to the presenter.
“We had them under pressure, but it was his knock which took them over the line. We are looking for a win despite losing eight out of eight,” he added.
Rizwan remained confident of sealing their maiden win in the tournament while rueing dropped chances and luck.
“We are making mistakes and at times things are also not going in our favour, like a dropped catch today. We will try to win our next match against Islamabad United,” he concluded.
Rawalpindiz will play Islamabad United on April 23 at the same venue.
