In the ongoing crucial World Cup match against New Zealand, which is a must-win for the green shirts, Fakhar Zaman has achieved a remarkable feat by scoring the fastest hundred for Pakistan in World Cup history.

Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman made his name in the list with his sensational hundred against New Zealand on Saturday.

Fakhar achieved the remarkable feat of hitting seven sixes against Bangladesh and 11 sixes against New Zealand, breaking the record for most sixes by a Pakistan batsman in a single ICC World Cup.

Fakhar Zaman managed to score the century in just 63 balls and he is currently not out. But shortly after reaching this milestone, rain disrupted the process.

Fakhar Zaman's 63-ball century not only set a new record for Pakistan but also broke Imran Nazir's previous record. Imran Nazir had scored a century in 95 balls against Zimbabwe in Kingston in 2007. Fakhar's brilliant innings included 9 sixes and 7 fours.

As Pakistan chased a mammoth target of 402 runs, they seemed to be on the right track with Fakhar Zaman leading the attack. At the time of filing this report, the match had to be abandoned due to rain, but Pakistan were in a strong position at 160 for 1 in 21.3 overs, with Fakhar still at the crease with an unbeaten 106 runs and Babar Azam providing solid support with 47 runs.

As he chases the mammoth target of 402 runs, Pakistan captain Babar Azam is also at the crease with Fakhar and he is yet to be out at 47 runs. Before the rain interruption, Pakistan were 160-1 in 21.3 overs and are 10 runs ahead according to the DLS method, meaning Pakistan will win the game by 10 runs if the rain doesn't stop.

At the start of the game, Pakistan's bowling performance was less than stellar as Haris, Shaheen and Hasan proved expensive. However, young talent Wasim Jr. was economical and managed to take three crucial wickets while conceding just 60 runs in his 10 overs.

Pakistan are in a strong position and need to maintain this momentum to successfully reach the challenging total. If the rain doesn't bother, Pakistan will be well on their way to securing a win.
