Wahab Riaz had a night to forget

Pakistan's premium left arm pacer over the years – Wahab Riaz – had a lot of responsibility going into this game to provide breakthroughs for his side. Things did not go according to plan though as he had a nightmarish game. To rub salt into the wound, he twisted his ankle in the last over which forced him to leave the field.

Riaz struggled with his length and was all over the place in his 8.4 over spell. He conceded 87 runs, the most conceded by any bowler in the Champions Trophy. Riaz couldn't bat as well and Pakistan had to concede the game after losing nine wickets.
