Fakhar Zaman slammed a brutal ton
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam was in awe of Fakhar Zaman’s magnificent batting in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023 clash against New Zealand. The 35th game of the tournament is taking place at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, where Kiwis ended with a total of 401 runs.
Pakistan’s chase has been all about Fakhar Zaman. The opening batter has set the stage on fire and has unleashed his beast mode. He batted with great intent and took attack to New Zealand bowlers and smashed them all over the park.
It has been a sheer carnage by Fakhar Zaman as he batted magnificently well and has hardly mistimed any ball. He brought up a brutal ton and has kept his side in the hut. With the way he has batted, Pakistan look all set to script history.
As Fakhar Zaman reached his ton, skipper Babar Azam, who was batting at the other end, looked extremely jubilant. As the batter took the single, the captain celebrated in joy and raised his hand. Here’s the video:

Fakhar Zaman was batting at 106 off 69 balls. Along with him, skipper Babar Azam was batting at 47 before rain interrupted and forced players to walk away. It remains to be seen if he manages to bat with the same tempo after the rain break or not.
NZ vs PAK: Babar Azam struggling to get going in the ICC World Cup 2023
Babar Azam has been struggling to get going in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023. He hasn’t quite yet fired in the tournament and has been under the firing line as well. He has managed just two fifties and hasn’t looked in the greatest of touch in the tournament. Ahead of the event, he was expected to play a big role but hasn’t.
However, he now has a golden chance to silence all his critics. The batter is on the verge of hitting a fifty against New Zealand. He would be hoping to change the fortunes and convert it into a big ton and win the game for his team.
