Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Mohammad Rizwan's video of him praying has gone viral on the internet during the World Cup 2023 opening game against the Netherlands.

During the drinks break of the Netherlands' chase, the 31-year-old offered his prayers. In the past, plenty of videos of Rizwan offering prayer have made rounds on and off the field.


Meanwhile, Pakistan defeated the Netherlands by 81 runs in the second match of the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 in India.

In a match played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, the Men in Green bowled the Netherlands out for 205 after posting a target of 287.

Meanwhile, Babar Azam and Co. has created history as they become the first Pakistan side to register a win in the World Cup on Indian soil. In the previous three World Cups in India (1987, 1996 and 2011), Pakistan never won a match.

The Men in Green will now play Sri Lanka on October 10 at the same venue.

Pakistan will then face India on October 14 in Ahmedabad. Both teams will be playing each other after appearing twice in the tournament.

India won the clash between the two sides in the 2019 World Cup by 18 runs. The first match between the two sides in the recent Asia Cup was a washout but India would emerge victorious in the Super 4 stage match by a big margin.
