Let us tell you that after the T20 series, the ODI series between South Africa and Pakistan is going to start from today. The first ODI match of the series will be played in Paarl. Speaking at a press conference in Paarl on Monday before the start of the ODI series, Rizwan said that past failures are kept in the past, but we learn from them.
The right-handed opener said, “The results in the T20 series were not as expected, our rhythm is good in the ODIs and we will try to maintain it. In T20, we are experimenting by giving opportunities to young players, whereas in the ODI series, we will enter the field keeping in mind the preparation for the Champions Trophy.
Apart from this, Rizwan said, “All the players in the team are captains, in the team I am not the word, but we are the word. Teamwork is excellent. We are all united. Be it junior or senior, everyone’s focus is on the team’s victory. They try to make a team considering the circumstances. Play in different conditions everywhere.”
South Africa has regained its momentum – Rizwan
He said, “There is always a challenge in playing outside the country. South Africa have found the rhythm, they are also winning. We beat Australia in Australia too, won the series in Zimbabwe too, it will be a good match against South Africa.”
Remember that the third and last T20 match between Pakistan and South Africa was washed out due to rain, but South Africa won the three T20 match series 2-0.
