Pakistan's fast bowler, Hasan Ali, achieved a significant milestone by claiming his 100th wicket in One Day International (ODI) cricket during the ICC World Cup 2023 match against New Zealand in Bengaluru on Saturday.

Hasan reached this landmark in his 66th ODI, making him the sixth-fastest Pakistani bowler to do so. His 100th wicket came when he dismissed New Zealand opener Devon Conway, who had scored 35 runs from 39 balls in the match.

Hasan is also the 22nd bowler from his country to take 100 or more ODI wickets, with legendary left-armer Wasim Akram leading the way with 502 in 356 matches

It's worth noting that Hasan Ali was included in Pakistan's playing XI for match against New Zealand, replacing leg-spinner Usama Mir. 

New Zealand is in fourth place on the World Cup points table, with eight points. They had secured four wins but also suffered three defeats in their previous matches. Pakistan, with six points, needed a victory to maintain their chances of reaching the semi-finals.
