In a rain-affected match at Bengaluru, opener Fakhar Zaman’s century saved Pakistan from elimination in the World Cup. Zaman scored an unbeaten 126 off 81 balls, including 11 sixes and eight boundaries, as Pakistan reached 200-1 in 25.3 overs, chasing a revised target of 342 in 41 overs. New Zealand had earlier scored 401-6, with Rachin Ravindra hitting his third century of the tournament and Kane Williamson contributing 95. Zaman’s century came off 63 balls, with nine sixes and six boundaries. Pakistan now has eight points from eight games and must win their last match against England, while also hoping that New Zealand loses to Sri Lanka or the match is affected by rain.
