Abdullah Shafique marked his World Cup debut with a century on Tuesday as Pakistan successfully chased 345 to defeat Sri Lanka in their second game of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Shafique, playing in only his fifth ODI, scored 113 runs, which were\u00a0laced with 10 fours and three sixes.<\/p>\n

Rizwan also scored his third ODI century off 97 balls with seven fours and two sixes and was still at the crease as Pakistan chased a winning target of 345.<\/p>\n

The Indian cricket fraternity heaped praise on the duo for their 176-run partnership.<\/p>\n

50 overs of keeping with brilliant \ud83d\udcaf from Rizwan. Best player of spin from team Pakistan doing it under pressure for them. #PAKvsSL<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a superbly crafted run chase and it is the 50 over format, where there is time for innings building, that allows fine players like Abdullah Shafique to have a role.<\/p>\n

Batting is about pacing your innings and picking the perfect time and bowler to attack. Rizwan played a perfectly planned Odi knock. He is always there for his team. #PAKvSL<\/a> #Rizwan<\/a><\/p>\n

Kya phainta lagaya. Highest successful WC chase. Brilliant from Pakistan after losing 2 early wickets. Shafique was calm and elegant and Rizwan showing why he is so reliable. Sri Lankan bowling was all over the place and too many extras. #PAKvSL<\/a><\/p>\n

Rizwan is the real match winner for Pakistan. Never gives up. Innovates. Backs his strength – the sweep shot.
What a set up now the #INDvPAK<\/a> will be. #PAKvSL<\/a> #ICCCricketWorldCup23<\/a><\/p>\n

When Rizwan started cramping up, SriLanka would have known they were in trouble.
What a game! What a win for Pakistan! \ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f\ud83d\udc4f#ICCCricketWorldCup<\/a> #PAKvSL<\/a><\/p>\n

Shafique has made the most of the opportunity\u2026now, twice over. Looks solid against pace. Comfortable again at spin.
Rizwan is a fabulous cricketer\u2026adversity brings the best out of him. Superb run-chase by Pakistan. Sets up nicely for the 14th \ud83d\ude07\ud83e\udd73 #CWC23<\/a><\/p>\n
