Pakistan reached the T20 World Cup final after defeating New Zealand by 7 wickets in Sydney on Wednesday. Pakistan will now wait and see which team between England and India joins them in Sunday’s final.
Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were in blistering touch as they brought up their 3rd 100+ partnership in T20 World Cups. Both openers were sent back by Trent Boult but by that time it was too little too late for the Black Caps as Pakistan romped to victory.
The internet was full of reactions after the victory as people from all corners congratulated Pakistan on the huge victory.
1992 World Cup winning captain Imran Khan tweeted, “Congratulations to Babar Azam and the team for a great win.”
