Zaman smashed 127 off 99 balls as Pakistan chased down a target of 326 against Sri Lanka in the tri-series final at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Saturday, October 31. The hosts, led by Shaheen Afridi, finished at 331 for seven in 48.3 overs, winning by three wickets with nine balls to spare and lifting the trophy.
"No, look, I've played enough cricket now to know that when it's my day and the ball starts coming nicely off my bat, I'll score big. So I was just waiting for that moment. I didn't do anything particularly different from the way I had approached the previous four matches."
"Look, the way my first four matches had gone, I felt a good performance was due, and I was putting in the effort. But cricket is such a game that sometimes you're in really good touch, but the runs just don't come. Even today, I was struggling a little at the start, but luckily the runs came, and that's a good thing for me. Whenever there is a final, I seem to score runs," he said.

"Absolutely. Look, whatever performances you put in throughout the tournament, you do them with the aim of winning the trophy. And when you score runs in the final, the happiness is even greater. I consider myself lucky that I managed to score runs in the final today," he said.
