Azam's form crucial for Pakistan in T20 semis

The 2009 champions only scraped into the knockout stage when the Netherlands unexpectedly defeated South Africa and Pakistan then beat Bangladesh to secure their second successive last-four berth.

Former Australia opener Hayden, who was batting coach for Pakistan at the last World Cup and was appointed team mentor for this edition, said they planned to make the most of their second chance.

"When the Netherlands beat South Africa, it was a very significant moment for the team in general around reaching its potential," he said, on the eve of the semi-final in Sydney.

"Lots of prayers as Pakistan woke up to see that result, 232 million people can't be wrong and, as a result of that, I feel there has been very much uplift in tempo in our group.
