What a game in Dubai. Pakistan team and their fans will be heartbroken. Australia will face New Zealand in the final of T20 World Cup 2021. A repeat of 2015 ODI World Cup final. **Preview:**It’s amazing how the tables have turned. A few years ago, Australia were considered the heavyweights and Pakistan, the underdogs. Now, it’s the other way round. Pakistan are the heavyweight in T20Is while Australia are the underdogs. Pakistan have cruised to the semis with five wins by playing an equal number of games. They are the only unbeaten side in the tournament. They are riding the crest of a wave having beaten almost every team comprehensively. A big factor heading into such crucial games is momentum and confidence. Pakistan will have both, against Australia. [caption id=“attachment_10118751” align=“alignnone” width=“640”]
Pakistan vs Australia Semi-final Live Streaming of T20 World Cup 2021 Match. AP[/caption] It’s been a complete team effort from Pakistan so far. Almost everyone has contributed at some point or the other. There are no glaring weaknesses as such. There are a couple of concerns though. Fakhar Zaman hasn’t had a good outing as such. He’s averaged just 13.50 with 54 runs from four innings and he would look to get up on the scoring charts. Hasan Ali hasn’t found his groove and has been Pakistan’s most expensive bowler going at 8.57 runs per over. Pakistan would hope that the duo up their game in the upcoming match. They wouldn’t look to tinker much with the winning combination. Australia too has had a decent campaign so far. They too have had comprehensive wins in almost all the matches. They were thumped by England in the only match that they have lost. But it’s impressive, the way they bounced back to win against Bangladesh and West Indies to qualify for the semis. Adam Zampa’s role in the middle overs will be crucial. He’s the joint second-highest wicket taker in the tournament and is the only one of two bowlers who has taken a five-for in the tournament. There will be battle within battles. Openers Aaron Finch and David Warner vs Shaheen Afridi. Glenn Maxwell vs Imad Wasim and Shadab Khan. Adam Zampa vs Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik. Josh Hazlewood vs Babar Azam. Australia are still searching for that elusive T20 World Cup title and a win against Pakistan will take one step further towards their goal. We can expect a cracker in Dubai.

Phew, what a game. After two superb semi-final matches, the final will be played between Australia and New Zealand. And we’ll be expecting another cracker on Sunday.
Hope you’ve enjoyed our coverage. We’ll call it a night. Thank you and take care.
Aaron Finch
“It was a great game of cricket. The way Matthew Wade held his nerve was outstanding, that partnership with Marcus Stoinis was crucial. I thought we were pretty sloppy today, we dropped a couple, though they were tough ones. But what we showed today was that you need all your players, everyone in your 15 to contribute.”
On chasing teams winning so many games
“It’s really strange. There’s no dew, but the lights take effect and the wicket speeds up a bit. I was hoping to lose the toss and put a total on the board and defend it, but it was good to chase that target down in the end.”
Deserved!
Matthew Wade is of course the player of the match
“Talking to Marcus Stoinis at the other end, we discussed what the bowlers were looking to do. (Shaheen) probably bowled more pace-on than I expected. When I got out there with Marcus, he was really confident we’d get them, even though I was a little unsure. He found the boundaries early on, and I was happy to chip in at the end. It got down to two a ball, and from there it was if you got one in your arc, just try to hit it. Probably hasn’t sunk in, I’ve just finished batting. I’m just happy to contribute. I was out of the team for a while, just happy I got an opportunity again.”
Right man in the right place
Matthew Wade. Guess we’ll also remember this name for a long time. He scored 41 in mere 17 balls, including three back to-back sixes to seal the victory for Australia. They needed 22 runs from 12 balls but Wade made sure they don’t need the final over for the win. What a game in Dubai. Pakistan team and their fans will be heartbroken.
Australia will face New Zealand in the final of T20 World Cup 2021. A repeat of 2015 ODI World Cup final.
WADE HAS DONE IT!!!!
Another scoop and it’s a six!
Australia win by five wickets!
After 18 overs,Australia 155/5 ( Marcus Stoinis 40 , Matthew Wade (W) 21)
Stoinis and Wade’s partnership is now gone past the 50-run mark. 11 off the five ball from Hasan Ali. He needs to end the over on a good note but he doesn’t. Four off the final ball, 15 off the over. Australia need 22 in 12 balls.
After 17 overs,Australia 140/5 ( Marcus Stoinis 38 , Matthew Wade (W) 8)
Stonis hits the ball hard down the ground towards deep mid-wicket but Shoaib Malik comes up with a good effort near the boundary to save two runs. After two boundaries, Rauf bowls a 147 kph to Stoinis who blocks it. A single to end the over, 13 off this one. Australia need 37 in 18 balls. Don’t go anywhere!
After 16 overs,Australia 127/5 ( Marcus Stoinis 25 , Matthew Wade (W) 8)
There’s a chance for Stoinis to take advantage of a free hit but his pull is straight to the fielder and the batsman collects two runs. After conceding the boundary off the first ball, Hasan Ali does well to finish the over. 12 off this one.
After 15 overs,Australia 115/5 ( Marcus Stoinis 15 , Matthew Wade (W) 7)
Another run out chance goes for a toss. Marcus Stoinis is definitely not finishing the run but the throw from bowler Shaheen is off target. Stoinis then gets a leading edge but the ball is just beyond the point fielder. Another good over for Pakistan. Just six and Australia need 62 in 30 balls.
After 14 overs,Australia 109/5 ( Marcus Stoinis 11 , Matthew Wade (W) 5)
Good over by Haris Rauf. Just six runs from his one when the required run rate is over 11. He has two more overs to bowl and Babar Azam will need him for the 18th and the 20th overs.
After 13 overs,Australia 103/5 ( Marcus Stoinis 11 , Matthew Wade (W) 0)
Shadab Khan finishes his spell. Under pressure, against the best of batters, he gives away just 26 runs but most importantly, takes four wickets. Australia will need Stoinis till the end.
GONE!
Shadab takes his fourth wicket. Maxwell plays the reverse sweep, the fielder at third man takes a good catch to dismiss the dangerous batsman. Maxwell c Haris Rauf b Shadab Khan 7(10)
After 12 overs,Australia 95/4 ( Glenn Maxwell 7 , Marcus Stoinis 3)
Imad Wasim has come in to bowl his third over. Great start against Stonis who takes a single after three dots. Maxwell tries his trademark reverse sweep in the final ball, gets a top edge but the ball doesn’t run to the boundary. Just three off the over. The required run rate is over 10 now.
How did Warner miss it?
After 11 overs,Australia 92/4 ( Glenn Maxwell 5 , Marcus Stoinis 2)
Oh wow. Ultraedge shows Warner didn’t nick it to the keeper so if he had taken the review, they would’ve said not out. But there was some sound and Warner didn’t even consult his batting partner for a review. He thought he had edged it. There was no doubt among Pakistan players as they were very confident about the edge.
Edge and taken!
Huge wicket of Warner and once again Shadab does it for Pakistan. Warner c Rizwan b Shadab Khan 49(30)
After 10 overs,Australia 89/3 ( David Warner 49 , Glenn Maxwell 4)
Run out chance but Warner survives. Maxwell calls for a quick single after a tap towards point. Warner gives up the running mid-way but the throw is not on target. Horrible decision to go for the single but no damage done. Nine off the over. Australia need another 88 runs in 60 balls.
After 9 overs,Australia 80/3 ( David Warner 43 , Glenn Maxwell 1)
Another good over by Shadab Khan. Steve Smith failed to make an impact but Australia won’t mind having somebody like Glenn Maxwell to up the run-rate in the middle-overs. 10 off Shadab’s over plus a wicket.
After 8 overs,Australia 70/2 ( David Warner 34 , Steven Smith 5)
The double-bouncer ball by Hafeez is called no-ball so Warner has a chance for another big shot. He tries for it but fails to execute it properly. A fumble in the deep results in two runs for the batsman. 13 off the over so a good one for Australia.
After 7 overs,Australia 57/2 ( David Warner 24 , Steven Smith 4)
Asif Ali’s catch to dismiss Marsh was not an easy one. Under lights, the ball was moving but the fielder’s concentration never wavered. Good over by Shadab Khan as he takes a wicket and concedes only five runs.
After 6 overs,Australia 52/1 ( David Warner 23 , Mitchell Marsh 28)
Despite a good start by Pakistan, Australia manage to score 52 in the powerplay. Warner and Marsh are looking good in the middle but it will not be easy against Pakistan’s bowling. Eight off Hasan Ali’s over.
Australia need 125 runs in 84 balls. The asking rate is close to nine.
