In a tour match against New Zealand, Sussex’s Mohammad Rizwan hits a screamer. In Sussex’s tour match against New Zealand, Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan took a brilliant catch.
Mohammad Rizwan, a Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman, is having a successful season with Sussex in the English County Championship. Rizwan, who made his Sussex debut alongside veteran India Test batter Cheteshwar Pujara, made headlines after taking a stunning catch during the Sussex-New Zealand tour match. Delray Rawlins bowled a slightly fuller delivery to Hamish Rutherford, who came down the track and attempted to smash it over long-off for a six on the second delivery of the Kiwi’s 54th over.
Rutherford, however, misjudged it, and Rizwan, who was deployed at mid-off, ran back nearly all the way to long-off and took a spectacular diving catch.
