    What's the story

    Pakistan ended their four-match losing streak in the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup after beating Bangladesh in Kolkata.

    The Men in Green successfully chased down 205 in just 32.3 overs to assert their dominance. Abdullah Shafique and Fakhar Zaman stamped their authority with a 128-run opening stand.

    Earlier, Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Wasim Jr took three wickets each for Pakistan.

    Here are the stats.

    Match

    A look at the match summary

    Bangladesh were reduced to 38/3 after electing to bat. Shaheen's brilliant new-ball spell worked wonders.

    Litton Das (45) and Mahmudullah (56) got Bangladesh past 100, but the partnership didn't last long.

    Shakib Al Hasan smashed a vital 43 before Bangladesh perished for 204.

    For Pakistan, Shafique and Zaman made the run-chase one-sided. They won by seven wickets.

    Mehidy Hasan Miraz took all three wickets.

    Zaman

    Fakhar Zaman's blazing knock

    Zaman gave Pakistan a flying start and denied the Bangladesh seamers any early breakthrough.

    Unlike his recent few innings, Zaman showcased his attacking strokes. He tore apart the Bangladesh bowlers with a flurry of sixes.

    Although Zaman lost Shafique after the 100-run mark, he didn't stop scoring. The former smashed a 74-ball 81 (3 fours and 7 sixes).

    Shafique

    Shafique slams his third fifty in the 2023 World Cup

    Shafique has been in tremendous form in the ongoing tournament. While Zaman played his natural game, Shafique held one end up and kept rotating the strike.

    He slammed his fourth 50-plus score in the tournament, amassing 332 runs in six matches at an impressive average of 55.33.

    Shafique slammed a 69-ball 68, hammering nine fours and two maximums.

    Information

    Fakhar Zaman scripted this record

    Zaman slammed seven sixes during his 81-run knock. Most sixes hit by a Pakistan batter in a WC innings: Imran Nazir - 8 vs Zimbabwe in 2007 Zaman - 7 vs Bangladesh in 2023 Iftikhar - 4 vs Afghanistan in 2023.
