After Pakistan clinched a thrilling match against India in the ongoing Asia Cup, Pakistan all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz hopes that the team will continue to play as they performed in the Super Four stage against their arch-rival. A superb fifty by Mohammed Rizwan and a 42 run cameo by Mohammad Nawaz powered Pakistan to a five-wicket win in a last-ball thriller Super Four clash against Pakistan at the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 on Sunday.

It was an exciting day of cricketing action for the fans as they got their money's worth. Rizwan's brilliant 71 off 51 balls proved to be the difference between both sides. Speaking about the boost of confidence the Pakistan team received after they clinched a thrilling win over India, Nawaz said in a post-match press conference, "As a player, it is good for us.

My strategy was to execute my plan while playing basic," said the batter.
