Pakistan’s mainstay Mohammad Rizwan starred with a strong 49-run knock after bowlers dominated Dutch batters to help Pakistan ease past the Netherlands to achieve their first-ever T20I win on Australian soil, here on Sunday in the Super 12s Group 2 match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022.

Earlier in September, Rauf delivered a dangerous bouncer to England batter Harry Brook that hit his helmet and trapped in it.

The video showed that the English batter Harry Brook was puzzled by the vigorous bouncer of Haris Rauf and the ball got trapped into his helmet grill.
