    That is a comprehensive win. They have dominated throughout the entire game.

    Just a week ago, they were out of it. The caged tigers are back.

  2. Pakistan win by seven wicketspublished at 19.1 overs

    Pak 153-3

    Pakistan have done it! From nowhere, they are into the T20 World Cup final.

    Thirty years on, the spirit of Imran Khan's cornered tigers remains.

  3. Pak 152-3published at 19 overs

    Target 153

    Wide down the leg side from Tim Southee. Scores level.

    He's kicking himself! That's an average killer.

    Haris c Allen b Santner 30 (Pak 151-3)

    Talk about an anti-climax.

    Haris sweeps Santner to Finn Allen at short fine leg. Not even a consolation for New Zealand.

    Still two required from the final over.

    There is going to be quite the noise when the winning run is hit.

  7. Pak 151-2published at 18.5 overs

    Target 153

    Through everyone and past the keeper. Three byes. Two to win.

  8. Pak 148-2published at 18.4 overs

    Target 153

    One more run. One hit will do it.

    You always talk about a perfect chase being completed from the last ball of the 19th over.

  10. Pak 147-2published at 18.3 overs

    Target 153

    Single through the off side. Six from nine required.

    Just short of Ish Sodhi at short third. Pakistan run a single.

    Just when there was the slightest glimmer of hope for New Zealand, Mohammad Haris has taken it firmly away from them.

    This is how you win a semi-final!

    Single off the last ball. Pakistan need eight from two overs.

    Pulled for six. That will settle it...

  16. Pak 138-2published at 17.4 overs

    Target 153

    Incredible from Haris. Digs out a full Ferguson delivery for four past extra cover. Alleviates the pressure.

  17. Pak 134-2published at 17.3 overs

    Need 19 from 15

    Shan Masood the new man. It's actually getting tense.

  18. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17 overs

    Rizwan c Phillips b Boult 57 (Pak 132-2)

    Rizwan has to go. It (rightly) was deemed a legal delivery. Pakistan need 21 off three. It was actually Rizwan who was 'run out', too. Either way, he's gone.

  19. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17 overs

    Rizwan has been caught off a high full toss, but was it a no-ball? New Zealand ran Haris out to be on the safe side...

  20. wicket

    WICKETpublished at 17 overs

    Right. Something has happened and someone is out. Stand by for clarification...
