The match in Bengaluru had the potential to become a World Cup classic if it weren't for the rain delays. The stellar performances of Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam kept Pakistan in the game, even after New Zealand set an imposing target of 401 runs.
With this result, Pakistan and New Zealand are now tied with eight points each, but Pakistan lags behind in net run rate. The Pakistani team will be hoping for a victory against England while also hoping that Sri Lanka can defeat New Zealand in their upcoming match.
As the group stage nears its conclusion, there are still various possibilities and scenarios to consider. It promises to be an exciting week ahead with so many permutations in play.
Captain Babar Azam : "All credit goes to Fakhar, we planned to built partnership, I just tried to give maximum strike to Fakhar, We knew we can utilize short boundaries".
