Pakistan vs new zealand

Pakistan has beaten New Zealand by seven wickets to reach a third T20 World Cup final. Three days ago, Pakistan were as good as out of the tournament, needing a miracle from The Netherlands to beat South Africa and then to beat Bangladesh themselves. Having won the toss and chosen to bat, New Zealand struggled on a slow, dry pitch, making 4-152 thanks in no small part to an inspired rearguard innings from Daryl Mitchell (53 not out off 35) and Kane Williamson (46 off 42). However, a century stand for the first wicket from Babar Azam (53) and Muhammad Rizwan (57) gave Pakistan a perfect platform from which to reach their target, doing so with ease with six balls to spare. Pakistan will now take on England or India at the MCG, the same venue where they won the ODI World Cup in 1992. New Zealand would have felt confident coming into the game — on the same strip just a couple of weeks earlier, Even by winning the toss the omens were in their favour — five of the six teams who batted first at the SCG in T20 matches had won. However, up against an inspired Pakistan team, they were never really in the game. Finn Allen (4) endured an eventful opening three balls, smashing a four down the ground, getting given out LBW — which he managed to overturn on review thanks to a thick inside edge — before Shaheen Shah Afridi completed the job with a gorgeous inswinger next ball anyway. Devon Conway (21) and Williamson rebuilt slightly before Conway was run out by Shadab Khan — just one exam...

ICC Men's T20 World Cup semi-final, Sydney New Zealand 152-4 (20 overs): Mitchell 53* (35), Williamson 46 (42); Shaheen 2-24 Pakistan 153-3 (19.1 overs): Rizwan 57 (43), Babar 53 (42) Pakistan won by seven wickets Scorecard; Pakistan reached the Men's T20 World Cup final after a thunderous seven-wicket win over New Zealand in Sydney. Shan Masood hit the winning runs with five balls to spare to send the Pakistan fans wild at an electric SCG. Daryl Mitchell had earlier hit an unbeaten half-century as New Zealand recovered from 49-3 to post 152-4. Pakistan will now play England or India - who meet on Thursday - in Sunday's final in Melbourne. It continues a stunning comeback for Pakistan, who were on the brink of elimination after losing to rivals India and then Zimbabwe in their first two matches of the tournament. They needed a shock defeat of South Africa by the Netherlands to keep their hopes alive, but they are now just one match away from a second T20 World Cup triumph. "The team has performed so well in the last three matches and they followed that today. I want to thank the crowd, it feels like we are playing at home," said Pakistan captain Babar. "We will enjoy this moment but at the same time we have got to focus on the final." • Malan & Mark Wood doubts for England-India semi-final • Why Kohli in Adelaide is bad news for England's World Cup hopes • 'It feels like it's written in the stars' - how Pakistan reached World Cup final • Listen to the latest No Balls podca...

Preview Pakistan and New Zealand are set to cross swords in Match No.19 of the T20 World Cup on Tuesday, October 26 at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium in Sharjah. Pakistan, led by Babar Azam, started their campaign in the best possible way after they defeated Virat Kohli’s India by 10 wickets on Sunday. Pitch Report The pitch in Sharjah has generally been slow and low. But the game between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka turned out to be a high-scoring affair.

Very little seems to ride on the ODI series these days, something especially true for this three-match rubber between Pakistan and New Zealand. Both sides have qualified for the World Cup later this year, and hosting the limited-overs matches as the dessert rather than hors d'oeuvre makes it feel insubstantial. New Zealand's ODI record is similarly impregnable, though their games too have been dotted about the calendar at odd intervals. Softer opposition in this period has doubtless helped that record, with nine of New Zealand's ten wins coming against the Netherlands, Ireland, Scotland and the West Indies. A They head to India for a white-ball series following this one, which means they can draw a touch more context out of this series than Pakistan. That is particularly true in a year where the World Cup will be held in India, so a dry run to the subcontinent in January might serve them rather well when October comes around.
