Pakistan will lock horns with Australia in the second semi-f🅺inal of the 🗹2021 T20 World Cup at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday, November 11.
Babar Azam & Co. will be ಌriding on a wave of momentum after a near-perfect tournament so far. They have been brilliant, winning all the five games of the Super 12 stage.
On the other hand, Aaron Finch’s Australia have had a mixed competition so far. They edged past South Africa in a last-over thriller but got thrashed by England. B✃arring these two games, Australia won their other three contests comprehensively.
Pakistan have never beaten Au🉐stralia in an ICC knockout game, but this time the result may be different as the Men in Green are in subli🔜me form and have won their last 16 T20Is in the UAE.
