Fakhar Zaman's explosive hundred against New Zealand in Bengaluru was crucial for Pakistan's semi-final aspirations. Chasing a daunting target set by New Zealand, Zaman's unbeaten 126 off 81 balls, at a strike rate of 155, played a pivotal role in Pakistan's triumph, securing victory under the DLS method.

Rohit Sharma's 87 Against England On A Tricky Pitch:

Rohit Sharma's calculated innings against England showcased a different facet of India's batting prowess. Deviating from his usual aggressive style, Sharma's 87 off 101 balls set the stage for India to post a defendable target of 229 for 9 in 50 overs.
