Preview: Pakistan will be hoping to continue their dream run in the T20 World Cup when they take on New Zealand in the first semi-final in Sydney on Wednesday. T20 World Cup: Full coverage | Schedule | Results | Points Table | News | Photos New Zealand, the team that had finished runners-up in an ICC event yet again last year following their defeat to Australia in the final, became the first team to qualify for the knockouts of the ongoing competition and would top of Group 1 with a much superior Net Run Rate after finishing level on points (7) with England and defending champions Australia. Pakistan, on the other hand, snuck into the semi-finals pretty much on a last-minute basis. The team was down and out after suffering back-to-back defeats against India and Zimbabwe respectively, and were staring at the prospect of an early flight back home. A win against Netherlands followed by a commanding performance against South Africa kept them mathematically alive, but what ultimately opened the door to the knockouts for them was Netherlands’ upset victory over the Proteas, which effectively made the Bangladesh-Pakistan encounter in Adelaide a virtual quarter-final. Shaheen Shah Afridi’s four-fer would help Pakistan hand their neighbours a five-wicket loss and secure their entry as the fourth and final team to qualify for the semi-finals. Squads: New Zealand: Finn Allen, Devon Conway(w), Kane Williamson(c), Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult, Martin Guptill, Adam Milne, Michael Bracewell, Mark Chapman. Pakistan: Mohammad Rizwan(w), Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Haris, Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hasnain, Haider Ali, Asif Ali.

Mohammad Rizwan was adjudged Player of the match for his knock. “Luckily, the fifty was in the semifinal. Babar and I were struggling but we worked hard and believed. We kept fighting. When we crossed the boundary line, we decided to take the attack to the new ball bowlers. When we finished the powerplay, we knew one of us had to bat deep as it was a tricky pitch. Our start (to the tournament) wasn’t good, but the guys kept believing,” he said after the match

What a turn around this has been for Pakistan. They had lost their first two matches on the trot in the competition including a defeat against Zimbabwe but are now the first finalists. A lot of credit goes to their bowlers as well to Rizwan and Babar Azam to stepping up when it was most needed. The bowlers restricted New Zealand to a low total while the Pakistan openers were off to a flying start in the run chase

“We are gonna have a bat. Used surface, not much grass on it. We’re going with the same team. Same pitch but different I reckon. It’s important we adjust to those changing conditions and assess quickly. There are a few unknowns, important we stick to our plans. Our focus is on this game, what we want to do here and really try and express ourselves with the cricket that we’ve been playing,” Williamson said at the toss
