Captain Aaron Finch was dismissed for naught in the first over against pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi, while spinner Shadab Khan also swung into action as he chased down Australia’s 177 for victory by dismissing Shaun Marsh. After being sent to bat by Australia in the second semi-final, Pakistan scored 176 runs for the loss of four wickets in 20 overs. Mohammad Rizwan played the highest innings of 67 runs for Pakistan. He added 71 runs for the first wicket with captain Babar Azam (39) and 72 runs for the second wicket with Fakhar Zaman (55 *). Babar and Rizwan have been in top form since their opening match of the tournament where Pakistan beat arch-rivals India by 10 wickets. Babar has also overtaken Jos Buttler of England to become the highest run-scorer in the current tournament. Meanwhile, Rizwan became the first batsman to score 1000 runs in T20Is in a calendar year. After Rizwan was sent back to the pavilion in the 18th over, Zaman also scored a half-century and gave the finishing touch to Pakistan’s innings. Mitchell Starc was the best bowler for Australia with his two wickets. Pat Cummins and Adam Zampa took a wicket each. Australia now need 177 runs to win but it will depend on how their batsmen chase down the target. Earlier, both the teams did not make any changes in their playing XI. Pakistan were unbeaten in the Super 12 round while Australia lost a game to England. Pakistan have never won an ICC knockout match against Australia but they have a very good chance of changing their fortunes this time with a balanced team. On the other hand, Australia, who had qualified for the semi-finals on the basis of a better net run-rate than South Africa, struggled with their team combination in the opening matches, but later on their main box towards the conclusion of the Super 12 round. Tucked away. The winners of this clash will take on New Zealand in the final at the same venue on Sunday. ,live scorecard,
“We will bowl. The wicket won’t change much during the game. People are relaxed, there will be clear nerves. This pitch has played right through the IPL and the World Cup and more are expected tonight, with no change in the playing XI No,” said Australia captain Aaron Finch after winning the toss.
