Marcus Stoinis and Matthew Wade stitched together an unbeaten fifty-run partnership to guide Australia to a superb five-wicket win and a place in the final where they will take on New Zealand on Sunday. Both Stoinis and Wade played some well-calculated shots and took the game deep to launch an assault late in the run-chase against Pakistan pacers. Wade finished the game with three back-to-back sixes off Shaheen Shah Afridi to finish the game with an over to spare and five wickets in hand. Chasing a stiff target of 177 runs, skipper Aaron Finch departed for a duck in the first over against pacer Shaheen while spinner Shadab Khan also got into the action as he struck with four crucial wickets to rock Australia in their pursuit of 177 runs for a win. However, Australia constructed back their innings beautifully, pacing and constructing their innings around the required run-rate.

Earlier, Pakistan posted 176 runs in their 20 overs after being sent to bat. Mohammad Rizwan top-scored for Pakistan with an impressive knock of 67 runs. He added 71 runs with skipper Babar Azam (39) for the first wicket and 72 runs for the second wicket with Fakhar Zaman (55*). (SCORECARD)
