Fakhar Zaman\u2019s Resilient Knock Guides Pakistan to Victory Against Bangladesh<\/strong><\/p>\n In a stellar display of batting prowess, Fakhar Zaman\u2019s remarkable innings, alongside Abdullah Shafique, steered Pakistan to their third victory at the historic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Their formidable 128-run opening partnership left the Bangladesh bowlers struggling to create any substantial pressure. Despite Mehidy\u2019s three crucial wickets, Bangladesh couldn\u2019t break the solid foundation laid by the Pakistani openers. With this win, Pakistan maintains their chances of securing a top-four spot, while Bangladesh finds themselves on the brink of elimination.<\/p>\n Earlier, Pakistan\u2019s bowlers, spearheaded by Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mohammad Wasim Jr., put up a commendable performance, restricting Bangladesh to 204 runs. Despite efforts from Litton Das and skipper Shakib Al Hasan, Bangladesh couldn\u2019t muster a significant total.<\/p>\n Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan\u2019s decision to bat first didn\u2019t yield the desired results. Pakistan, making strategic changes, brought in Fakhar Zaman, Agha Salman, and Usama Mir. Fakhar Zaman\u2019s impressive post-match statement highlighted his dedication and hard work, emphasizing his partnership strategy with Abdullah Shafique and their shared goal of maintaining a strong Net Run Rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fakhar Zaman who made a dominating comeback in the World Cup clash against Bangladesh, said in the post macth conference\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":250,"featured_media":30538,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[2120],"class_list":["post-7639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cricket","tag-fakhar-zaman"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/250"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7639\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
