In the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, New Zealand faced Pakistan in a crucial group stage match. Pakistan won the toss and chose to field, allowing New Zealand to score a formidable 401-6. Rachin Ravindra played a standout role, notching up 108 runs, while their captain Kane Williamson returned from injury and narrowly missed a century. The target set by New Zealand for Pakistan stands at 402, making this match pivotal for both teams as they strive to secure a spot in the semifinals.
In second innings, the Pakistani opener’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, as Fakhar Zaman exhibited aggressive yet controlled batting, consistently finding gaps and punishing the New Zealand bowlers.
But Pakistan’s batting faced significant delays due to rainfall. Rain interruptions are a common occurrence in cricket, and they can disrupt the flow of the game.
