Riaz will be key for Pakistan

Wahab Riaz is an experienced left-arm pace bowler who has an ability to swing the ball both ways and at a lively pace. He came to limelight in 2011 when he replaced Shoaib Akhtar in World Cup 2011 World Cup semifinals against India.

His fiery spell of 2/54 from nine overs against Australia in the 2015 World Cup is considered a wonderful spell of fast bowling and one of the best ever in the World Cups.

One of Pakistan's best bowlers up front with the new ball and at the death, Riaz has already picked up four wickets in this World Cup and has also made some impressive contributions with the bat, playing the role of a pinch-hitter which could come to use against India.
