Fakhar Zaman hits century and passes 4,000 ODI runs
The Pakistan batter reached 4,000 one-day international runs in his 97th ODI and became the 16th from his country to pass the mark.

Pakistan batter Fakhar Zaman scored a century and passed 4,000 one-day international runs in the same innings, in his 97th ODI, UrduPoint reported.
By the outlet's count, the milestone makes him the 16th Pakistan batter to reach 4,000 runs in the 50-over format.
UrduPoint filed the report on Saturday. Its headline and standfirst carried both the century and the career figure, describing the hundred as splendid.
The available copy did not name the opposition, the venue, the date of the match, the number of balls faced, the innings total or the result.
The 4,000 runs are a career aggregate across Fakhar's one-day internationals, which the outlet put at 97 matches. Fifteen Pakistan batters had reached the figure before him.
No other outlet in the desk's file reported on the same match, and Skardu Times could not independently verify the figures beyond UrduPoint's report.
