Fakhar Zaman scored a magnificent century in the final

If you look at the top run-getters of the tournament, they all played the anchor role pretty well. Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, Joe Root, Kane Williamson all got big hundreds and guided their teams to either huge scores batting first or chasing down targets.

Even in the final, Fakhar Zaman scored a superlative hundred and the whole Pakistani innings revolved around him. Just like the aforementioned players, he built the platform by staying at the crease until the 30th over from where the lower middle-order took the score over 300.
