NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
Babar Azam hailed his Pakistan side after they continued their remarkable T20 World Cup turnaround to beat New Zealand and reach Sunday’s final.
Pakistan were on the verge of crashing out of the tournament after losing their opening two games in final-ball thrillers.
But Babar’s team won their final three group games and saw other results go their way to make the semi-finals and set up a clash with last year’s runners-up New Zealand.
Pakistan dominated the Sydney Cricket Ground semi-final from the outset, restricting New Zealand to 152-4 as Shaheen Afridi took 2-24.
