Mohammad Rizwan was on song with the bat as he fought hard for Pakistan in first ODI against New Zealand. 

Set to chase 256 runs, Pakistan was supported by Rizwan after well-set Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam departed. 

He scored seventh ODI fifty to set a perfect tone for Pakistan in run-chase. The wicket-keeper batter was highly praised for his performance.

When this story was filed, Pakistan needed 15 off 24 runs to win first ODI and go 1-0 up in three-match series. 

Rizwan was dropped from Pakistan's Test squad after failing to score in 12 consecutive innings. He was replaced by former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed who scored three fifties in a row before a match-saving 100 in second Test against New Zealand.
