Qudrat Ka Nijam during NZ vs SL

In the 41st match of the ongoing ODI World Cup 2023, New Zealand faces Sri Lanka at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. The game is very crucial for both teams, as a win here will matter. For the Kiwis, a win will increase their chances of qualifying for the semifinals. On the other hand, a win here will increase Sri Lanka’s chances to participate in the Champions Trophy 2025.

However, Sri Lanka has great baking from two more countries, i.e., Pakistan and Afghanistan. Both Pakistan and Afghanistan are also in the semifinal race, along with New Zealand, and they would like the Kiwis to lose the game. Especially Pakistani cricket fans are expecting a miracle to happen, which will help them qualify for the semis.

On social media, fans are trending #QudratKaNijam, a term that was coined during Pakistan’s last-year campaign in the T20I World Cup. Till now, everything has happened according to Qudrat Ka Nijam, and Pakistani fans are expecting it to continue for them. It’s worth noting that if New Zealand beats Sri Lanka by x runs, the Asian giants will need to beat England by X+130 runs.

Meanwhile, after batting first against a quality bowling unit from New Zealand, Sri Lanka failed to put up a show with the bat. The team lost seven wickets for a mere 105 runs in 18.3 overs. Apart from opener Kusal Perera, not a single batter looked comfortable against Kiwi pacers. Perera, in his innings, scored 51 runs off 28 balls with the help of nine fours and two sixes.

New Zealand pacer Trent Boult clinched three wickets as he dismissed Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis, Charith Asalanka, and Sadeera Samrawickrama. Meanwhile, Tim Southee and Lockie Ferguson took a wicket each. On the other hand, spinner Mitchell Santner got two wickets too. It’s worth noting that if New Zealand chases the target set by Sri Lanka in 35 overs or less, Pakistan will need to beat England by 225 runs or in 14 overs to surpass their NRR.

Mohammad Rizwan has come under heavy fire for his performance during Pakistan’s loss to South Africa in a high-stakes match. Critics described his innings as lackluster, accusing him of playing a “shameless” and “criminal” knock that failed to meet the demands of the situation. His inability to accelerate scoring when required drew ire from fans and analysts alike, with many questioning his intent and decision-making under pressure.

His inability to shift gears in critical moments ultimately hurt Pakistan’s chances, and his performance sparked a broader debate about his role and strategy in the team’s batting order.

The incident has added to the scrutiny of Pakistan’s overall performance in the tournament, with many demanding better strategies and execution from key players. Rizwan, regarded as a pivotal figure in the lineup, now faces the challenge of responding to the criticism and delivering under pressure in future matches.
