ISLAMABAD: Pakistan again pin hopes on Rizwan and Salman after the top order collapsed in Karachi on Friday.
Earlier, Pakistan’s cricketer Babar Azam reached a remarkable milestone of 6,000 runs in One-Day Internationals (ODIs) during the Tri-Nation Series final against New Zealand at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi.
The match started with a disappointing blow to Pakistan’s hopes when opener Fakhar Zaman was dismissed early.
