Pakistan is approaching the men’s T20 World Cup semi-finals after an exciting five-ticket victory over Afghanistan in Dubai. In
grip games, Pakistan chased at 148 until Rashid Hahn captain Babar Azam bowled at 51.
Afghanistan is in 1476.
Pakistan is arguably one of the tournament’s favorites, with three wins in three Group 2 games.
Andre Russell threw a perfect final, with the West Indies defeating Bangladesh in three runs and winning the first Super 12 to maintain the title defense of the Twenty20 World Cup with a low-scoring thriller. Both teams entered the tournament with two losses in the same number of games, with Bangladesh 13 in Sharjah’s low and slow wicket using 40 out of 22 Nicholas Pooran’s West Indies in Russell’s final. I chased 1427 in the Islands.
Russell received little support from an outfielder who was found guilty of falling catches and bad groundfields in the finals, but still gave only nine runs and limited Bangladesh to 1395. The
defeat ended almost completely as the South Asian side wanted to advance to the semi-finals.
