Pakistan vs New Zealand, T20 World Cup Highlights: PAK thrash NZ by 7 wickets, reach first final since 2009

Babar Azam roared back to form at the perfect time for Pakistan

Pakistan vs New Zealand, T20 World Cup Highlights: While Pakistan's biggest stars - Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Rizwan and captain Babar Azam, failed to perform throughout this tournament, they brought out their best at exactly the right time. Afridi led the way as Pakistan restricted New Zealand to a total of 152/4 after which Babar and Rizwan's sensational 105-run opening stand knocked the wind out of the Kiwis' sails. While the match went down to the last over, the run of play was hardly ever against Pakistan and they have gone through to the final for the first time since 2009, which was also the last time they won the tournament.
