Receiving 'Player of the Match' for his inspiring innings of 126 off 83 deliveries, hitting eight boundaries and 11 sixes, Zaman in the post-match presentation said it was his day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe were chasing 400 and that was our plan, just to see off the first 4 overs and thankfully it was my day. To be honest, I was lucky a few times but really enjoyed this inning. We know every game is a do or die for us and we have decided to play aggressively and we are playing with that mind so everybody is just trying to score runs,\u201d said Zaman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWe were also praying that we don't want any more game to happen (while waiting anxiously in the dressing room during the rain break) because it was already 9 and half hours and we knew that DLS would come into the equation,\u201d Zaman added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Zaman said they wanted to play with an aggressive mindset and will continue playing this way in the tournament.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThis is one of the best (knocks in ODI cricket) but I will always rank my 193 in South Africa highly, but I really enjoyed this game and New Zealand are a great side, so definitely one of the best. We wanted to play with that aggressive mindset and we will play aggressively in the next game also,\u201d said Zaman.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Pakistan still has a chance of qualifying for the semi-finals, having moved up to fifth place in the points table with a win over New Zealand. Pakistan will now face England in their last league match at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on November 10.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/11\/mens-odi-world-cup-we-didnt-wanted-play-to-resume-after-second-break-says-fakhar-zaman-after-pakistan-win.JPG", "alt_img": "Men\u2019s ODI World Cup: We didn\u2019t wanted play to resume after second break, says Fakhar Zaman after Pak", "alt_title": "Bengaluru : ICC Men's Cricket World Cup match between New Zealand and Pakistan", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Men\u2019s ODI World Cup: We Didn\u2019t Wanted Play To Resume After Second Break, Says Fakhar Zaman After Pakistan Win On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Men\u2019s ODI World Cup: We Didn\u2019t Wanted Play To Resume After Second Break, Says Fakhar Zaman After Pakistan Win, Pakistan Fakhar Zaman: Pakistan Fakhar Zaman has revealed that the team was \u2018praying\u2019 for no resumption after the second rain.", "seo_keywords": "Fakhar Zaman, Pakistan Fakhar Zaman, New Zealand, Lewis Stern, Chinnaswamy Stadium, South Africa, Eden Gardens", "tag": "", "tagging": "Fakhar Zaman, Pakistan Fakhar Zaman, New Zealand, Lewis Stern, Chinnaswamy Stadium, South Africa, Eden Gardens", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "mens-odi-world-cup-we-didnt-wanted-play-to-resume-after-second-break-says-fakhar-zaman-after-pakistan-win", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "1271", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2023-11-04 20:48:04", "updated": "2023-11-04 20:48:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "Fakhar Zaman, Pakistan Fakhar Zaman, New Zealand, Lewis Stern, Chinnaswamy Stadium, South Africa, Eden Gardens", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-11-04 20:48:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "1", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/mens-odi-world-cup-we-didnt-wanted-play-to-resume-after-second-break-says-fakhar-zaman-after-pakistan-win-131719" }
