Cricket: Fakhar Zaman has set his place in history after being the fastest player to ever reach one hundred World Cup runs for Pakistan as they attempted to upset New Zealand.

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.

After the resumption, Zaman kept up the tempo, hitting three sixes off spinner Ish Sodhi’s 25th over as Pakistan went past the 200-mark. He completed his 11th ODI hundred, and first in a World Cup, with a six and a single off Mitchell Santner. 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.
