Let us tell you that in the World Cup 2023, the Pakistan team lost 4 consecutive matches after winning the first two matches. Since then the team has been criticized from all sides. Questions are being raised on the team’s bowling, fitness and Babar’s captaincy. In such a situation, this win would have given relief to the fans and the PCB.

If we talk about the Pakistan vs New Zealand match, the Kiwi team scored 401 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in 50 overs after batting first. Chasing that, Pakistan’s first wicket fell early. But after this, Fakhar Zaman batted wildly and was joined by Babar Azam at the other end. Fakhar scored a century in just 63 balls. This is the fastest century by Pakistan in World Cup history. The match had to be stopped due to rain. When the match finally came to a close, Pakistan had scored 200 for one wicket and under the Duckworth-Lewis rule, Pakistan were ahead on par. After this, no more matches could be played due to rain and Pakistan won the match by 21 runs.
