The New Zealand cricket team posted an impressive 401-6 in their World Cup match against Pakistan, but Pakistan’s Fakhar Zaman delivered a stunning 126 off 81 balls to secure victory for Pakistan, who reached the target with the help of the DLS method due to rain delays.

Despite the loss, New Zealand captain Kane Williamson praised his team’s batting performance and remained focused on the next game.

Pakistan’s Fakhar Zaman explained that the team had planned for the possibility of rain, and the innings of Zaman and captain Babar Azam helped Pakistan chase down the target, keeping their semi-final hopes alive.
