Pakistan first restricted New Zealand at 152/7 in the 20 overs. Pak skipper and the key batter Md. Rizwan made the match by knocking a good score at the start.
They will meet either England or India – who play on Thursday in Adelaide –in the November 13 final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Ahead of that match, former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar had a message for India.
“Hindustan, we have reached Melbourne. We are waiting for you. I wish you best of luck that you defeat England and arrive in Melbourne. It was in Melbourne that we defeated England in 1992 final. Now the year is 2022. The years are different but the numbers are same. I want an India-Pakistan final. Let’s play one more time. We need one match. The whole world is waiting with baited breath,” Shoaib Akhtar said in a video posted on his Twitter account.
