Fakhar Zaman slams fastest World Cup century for Pakistan

BENGALURU: Fakhar Zaman on Saturday slammed the fastest ODI World Cup Century for Pakistan on Saturday. The left-hander reached his hundred off 63 balls in the 20th over of Pakistan’s chase against the Kiwis.

Fakhar Zaman surpassed the previous record held by Imran Nazir, who had achieved a century in 95 balls against Zimbabwe in the 2007 Kingston World Cup, marking it as the fastest by a Pakistani batter in World Cup history.

Additionally, Fakhar surpassed Nazir’s record for the most sixes in a World Cup innings by a Pakistani player, as Nazir had hit eight sixes during his 160-run innings off 121 balls against Zimbabwe.

Fakhar Zaman’s 63-ball century ranks joint-ninth on the list of fastest World Cup centuries, with India’s skipper Rohit Sharma also having scored a century in 63 balls against Afghanistan during this edition of the World Cup. IANS
