This season, the skipper of the Rawalpindi-based side has scored at a rate of only 123.88. Having faced 67 balls in the season, Rizwan has managed to hit only 13 fours and a solitary six so far.

Like Rizwan, David Warner too was dismissed for a golden duck in his most recent clash in PSL 2026. The former Australian batter has scored 93 runs so far in the season in four innings.

However, with the standards set by the 39-year-old, it has been an underwhelming performance from him.
