Rizwan stayed unbeaten, scoring a brilliant 131 runs, marking Pakistan's second-highest individual score in a World Cup, surpassing Ramiz Raja's 119 against New Zealand in 1992.

Pakistan found themselves three down for 38 after being inserted, but a sparkling partnership worth 120 off 114 between Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel, the World Cup debutant, rebuilt the innings before all-rounders Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz put together a 64-run stand for the seventh wicket to lift their side to 286.
