That's A First! Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan Asks Bangladesh Batter If He's Out Before DRS Call. Watch

Pakistan cricket team finally registered a win at the Cricket World Cup after four losses at the trot. The Babar Azam-led Pakistan cricket team had come into the game against Bangladesh needing a win to stay relevant in the semi-final race at the Cricket World Cup. They achieved the target in some fashion with a seven-wicket win over the Shakib Al Hasan-led Bangladesh. The win took Pakistan to six points in seven games. They need to win their remaining games against New Zealand and England and hope for other teams' results go their way to have chance to enter the last-four stage.

Bowling first, Pakistan restricted Bangladesh to just 204 with Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Wasim Jr picking three wickets each. While the bowlers were perfect, there was one moment in the game which left everybody in splits. In the 43rd over, Shaheen Afridi bowled a delivery to Taskin Ahmed down the leg. The ball looked like brushing off the pads. While Babar Azam turned down wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan's appeal for a DRS, the latter was so desperate that went ahead and asked the batter about where the ball had hit.
