At the Sydney Cricket Ground today, Pakistan defeated high-riding opponents New Zealand by 7 wickets to get to the T20 World Cup final in classic party gatecrashing fashion. In a customary display of its cricketing brilliance, Babar Azam's charges led from the front in a 105-run opening onslaught on New Zealand's attack with the captain scoring 53 off 42, along with Mohammad Rizwan who hit 57 off 43. Pakistan is just one step away from winning the world cup and being the first to make it to the championship game of cricket.
Whether Babar Azam's side can win the cup again in the championship game will be the deciding factor for Pakistan on Sunday, September 13. After the match between India and England on Thursday at the Adelaide Oval, Pakistan will now wait for their opponents in the final.
