Analysts and politicians applaud Pakistan’s “clinical victory” over New Zealand in the T20 World Cup semifinal.

On Wednesday, Pakistan defeated New Zealand by seven wickets to advance to the T20 World Cup final. Pulling closer to a second championship with half-centuries from Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam. The matchup is between the 2009 champions and either England or India, who play on Thursday in Adelaide. It will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on November 13.

Rizwan (57) and Azam (53) demolished the famed bowling arsenal of the Black Caps in a 105-run opening stand in front of a 36,443 fervently pro-Pakistan crowd. Despite a tense finish when both fell, they finished a deserving victory with five balls to spare.

Pakistan’s road to the T20 World Cup Final

It was a wild trip in Australia to reach another final. Pakistan last won it in 2009 at Lord’s in England when they defeated Sri Lanka by eight wickets. They recovered from heartbreaking last-ball defeats to India and Zimbabwe in the group stage by defeating the Netherlands and South Africa. Then, against all chances, they prevailed when Pakistan easily defeated Bangladesh and the Proteas were shocked by the Dutch.

New Zealand, who won Group 1, was hoping to get to the final for the second time in a row. But their quest for a first T20 championship was again unsuccessful.

When Kane Williamson won the toss, he had little difficulty in asking Pakistan to bowl. Despite the fact that teams batting first had won five of the six games played in Sydney this tournament. However, it turned out to be difficult going.
