Pakistan opener Fakhar Zaman has no regrets about missing out on a World Cup hundred, for he knows how important it was to try and boost their net run-rate in Tuesday\u2019s comprehensive win<\/a> against Bangladesh.<\/p>\n

Pakistan began their campaign with back-to-back wins but went into the match at the Eden Gardens with their semi-final hopes hanging in balance after four defeats in a row.<\/p>\n

They beat<\/a> Bangladesh by seven wickets, and chased down the victory target with 17.3 overs to spare in a major boost to their net run-rate, which could come in handy when separating teams level on points.<\/p>\n

Fakhar led Pakistan\u2019s chase with a freewheeling 81, which earned him player-of-the-match award, but fell short of a hundred trying to wrap up their chase early.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation we were in at that moment, we were looking to chase it in 28-29 overs,\u201d the 33-year-old, whose form and knee injury kept him out Pakistan\u2019s first five matches, told reporters.<\/p>\n
