Zahoor was visibly pumped after hitting a boundary to reach his century. The youngster celebrated wildly as he reached the landmark, clearly aware of the importance of his knock in a high-pressure contest against India. His partner Niqab Shafiq was equally excited and could barely contain himself. He threw his bat aside, rushed towards Zahoor, and embraced the centurion as the two youngsters celebrated the incredible turnaround.

There was another interesting detail behind Zahoor’s performance. Before the match, he had written a prediction on a piece of paper that read, “Tomorrow match 50 Insha Allah Hamza Zahoor I am best.” After Pakistan’s victory, he proudly showed the note to the cameras, and it quickly attracted attention on social media.

Hamza Zahoor’s unbeaten century guides Pakistan to three-wicket victory

India were bowled out for 208 in 46.3 overs after being asked to bat first. Their innings suffered an early collapse, but Arjun Rajput kept the side in the contest with a brilliant 107 off 85 balls, including 11 fours and five sixes. Aryavir Sehwag scored 22, while Kavya Paresh Patel added 23. Pakistan’s Ali Raza, Rizwanullah and Niqab claimed three wickets each.

Pakistan’s chase also got off to a difficult start as India reduced them to 61/5 inside the first 15 overs, with Manal Chauhan taking three wickets. However, Zahoor joined Hasnain Abbas Dar to put together a crucial 107-run partnership for the sixth wicket. Dar contributed 38 off 67 balls before departing, while Zahoor remained unbeaten on 100 to guide Pakistan to 209/7 in 48.1 overs, sealing a three-wicket victory with 11 balls to spare.
