LIVE scoring and ball-by-ball coverage of the Cricket World Cup encounter between New Zealand and Pakistan at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Swashbuckling opener Fakhar Zaman cracked a blistering century to save Pakistan from World Cup elimination in a rain-affected and dramatic 21-run victory over New Zealand at Bengaluru on Saturday.
Set a mammoth 402-run target initially, Zaman lifted Pakistan to 160-1 after 21.3 overs before a 90-minute stoppage due to rain led to a revised target for Pakistan. He completed his 11th ODI hundred, and first in a World Cup, with a six and a single off Mitchell Santner.Pakistan now have eight points from as many games with their last match against England in Kolkata on November 11.
This was Ravindra's third century of the tournament -- in addition to two half centuries -- and he was in total control until he holed out at deep mid-wicket off Mohammad Wasim in the 36th over. Williamson, who recovered from a knee surgery just before the World Cup, had played only one game against Bangladesh before fracturing his thumb.
Glenn Phillips hit a 25-ball 41 with four boundaries and two sixes while Santner was not left behind, smashing two sixes in his 17-ball 26 not out. 0.0 - Comment!
