‘The end result is in the hands of the Almighty’: Mohammad Rizwan
The Pakistan wicket-keeper further added that the end result is in the hands of the almighty but is optimistic of lifting the trophy.
“We’ve jokingly convinced ourselves that it’s a best of three series. This is cricket and we’re always discussing about it, hoping we keep playing matches, going from match to match and into the finals. We always talk about this,” he said.
“Obviously, we aim to improve our game and work hard because our nation demands it. The players in our current team are putting in the work and effort. There is a sense of camaraderie and we are trying to fulfil what our nation demands from us. And, as we all know, the end result is in the hands of the Almighty,” Rizwan concluded.
India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan will be competing against each other in the Super Four round of the Asia Cup 2022. Afghanistan and Sri Lanka will face each other in the first match on Saturday (September 3).
