T20 World Cup: Mohammad Rizwan spent two nights in ICU before top scoring for Pakistan in semi-final

Pakistan's team doctor said Mohammad Rizwan was admitted to hospital on Tuesday and spent two nights in intensive care before scoring 67 from 52 balls in Thursday's semi-final in Dubai against Australia.

Wicketkeeper-batsman Mohammad Rizwan was Pakistan's highest run scorer in their T20 World Cup semi-final defeat to Australia but he was in hospital with a severe chest infection for two nights before the match, the team doctor has revealed.

Rizwan, whom the team's batting coach Matthew Hayden hailed as a "warrior", said that he would play when captain Babar Azam asked him about his health and ended up scoring 67 off 52 balls.
