Pakistan are through to the final of the T20 World Cup. The Men in Green produced a stunning all-round display to book their place in the grand finale on Sunday.

Having opted to bat after winning the toss, New Zealand were rocked in the very first over.

With runs hard to come by, the Black Caps found themselves in even more trouble when Devon Conway & Glenn Phillips departed in quick succession.

While captain Williamson did find a few runs once again, it was Daryl Mitchell's fifty that lifted the Kiwis past the 150-run mark, but even then their score felt below par.

In reply, the Men in Green got off to the best start possible. Babar, who was dropped the first ball, made the Black Caps pay with a fifty - his first big score of the tournament. His partner-in-crime Mohd Rizwan too starred with a half-century at the other end.

Their 105-run opening partnership was the third time the duo had scored a century stand in T20 World Cups.

While the game did get close after the pair's departure, Mohd Haris scored 30 off 26 balls to ensure the Men in Green got home in the final over.

India or England? One of them will face Babar Azam's men at the mighty MCG on November 13, and organisers & advertisers will be licking their lips at the prospects of another India-Pakistan clash.
