🎖️ Player of the Match: Salman Agha (134 off 103, 16 fours, 2 sixes)
✅ Result: Pakistan won by 6 wickets

💬 Post-Match Reactions

📢 Mohammad Rizwan:

"Thanks to the Almighty for helping us with this record chase. We thought we could restrict them to 300, but Klaasen’s innings took them to 350. However, we have chased such totals before, and that gave us confidence. Our fielding must improve before the Champions Trophy."

📢 Temba Bavuma:

"We were confident with 350 runs on the board, but our bowlers couldn’t sustain pressure. The middle overs are crucial, and we need to find ways to stop opposition batters from scoring freely. If these are the wickets for the Champions Trophy, it will be a challenge for bowlers."

📢 Salman Agha (Player of the Match):

"It was a great wicket to bat on. Our plan was to take the game deep and control the chase five overs at a time. The start was crucial, and we built momentum as the innings progressed."

🔥 Pakistan’s Chase: A Well-Paced Run Chase

Pakistan, not known for their chasing abilities, executed this pursuit with precision. Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman provided a quick start, adding 50+ runs in the first six overs. Despite losing three wickets inside 11 overs, the required rate was always in control.

🚀 Key Moments:

🔹 Rizwan & Agha’s 260-run stand: Pakistan’s highest 4th-wicket partnership in ODIs.
🔹 Rizwan’s finishing touch: Unbeaten 122 off 128 balls.
🔹 Agha’s aggressive knock: 134 off 103 balls, hitting 16 boundaries and 2 sixes.

Despite Ngidi’s late breakthrough, Pakistan was already in control, sealing the win in 49 overs.

🎯 Final Showdown: Pakistan vs New Zealand

With this win, Pakistan will now face New Zealand in the final. While their batting has been impressive, areas like bowling and fielding still require improvement ahead of the Champions Trophy.
