The Pakistan dream is over. And we are all set for a brand new T20 world champion.
The never-say-die attitude of Australia, coupled with some trademark shoddy fielding by Pakistan that has haunted them in the past, saw to it that Aaron Finch’s men book a berth in the final against New Zealand.
Australia still needed 20 off 10 and Shaheen Shah Afridi was looking to work his magic at the death. It was at this point that a mistimed pull off Matthew Wade was put down by Hasan Ali at deep square-leg and immediately the Pakistan team knew the game was going. And then followed the final onslaught by Wade three consecutive sixes off Afridi and Australia won with an over to spare.
Pakistan captain Babar Azam would feel bitterly disappointed because they had the game virtually covered till the 16th over of the Australian innings. Chasing 175, Australia had dug themselves into a hole but it was at this point that the grit and the experience of Wade and Marcus Stoinis took over. They followed the basic principle of T20 cricket that if there are wickets in hand at the death, the game is always on.
