Pakistan defeated New Zealand by 7 wickets to reach FINAL

Pakistan defeated New Zealand by 7 wickets and has reached Finals. Fans saw mesmerizing partnership between Muhammad Rizwan and Captain Babar Azam. They were energetic enough to bring trophy home.

On a slow SCG pitch today, Daryl Mitchell scored a crucial unbeaten fifty to help New Zealand record a respectable 152 for four against Pakistan in the first semifinal. When choosing to bat, New Zealand hitters had difficult conditions on a worn-out SCG track as they struggled to connect with the ball due to the surface’s slowness. After early setbacks, Mitchell (53 not out off 35) and captain Kane Williamson (46 off 42) revived New Zealand’s innings to push the team above the 150-run barrier.

Besides Mitchell, the other key batsmen for New Zealand, who elected to bat first after winning the toss, included Kane Williamson (46 off 42) and Devon Conway (21 off 20).
