'The PCB has taken serious note of the security breach that occurred yesterday when a spectator entered the field of play. Ensuring the safety of players and officials remains our top priority,' the board said on Tuesday as quoted by Dawn.

Recapping the match between the two sides, in pursuit of a modest target of 237, Rachin kept New Zealand on track with a swashbuckling display with the bat. He raced to his fourth ODI century in 95 balls and became the most successful batter for the Kiwis in ICC ODI events.
His century played a decisive role in ending Bangladesh's campaign and defending champions Pakistan's title defence in the group stage.
New Zealand will now head to Dubai to square off against India in the final game of Group A on March 2 before appearing in the semi-finals. (ANI)
