Pakistan have booked their place in the T20 World Cup final after beating New Zealand by seven wickets in a brilliant semi-final victory to set up a blockbuster clash against either England or India.
Shaheen Shah Afridi was the star of the show with the ball, picking up 2-24 and taking the crucial wickets of explosive opener Finn Allen and New Zealand captain Kane Williamson as the Kiwis were limited to a total of 152-4.
Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam were then back to their best with the bat, putting on a brilliant opening partnership worth 105 to break the back of the chase. Babar, who had reached double figures just once at the tournament, rediscovered his form with an excellent 53, while Rizwan struck 57.
