Relief at last as Warner walks!

Shadab produces possibly the defining play of this semi-final as he makes Warner nick one back to Rizwan. However, replays showed there was a big gap between the bat and ball but Warner, for some odd reason, did not take a review. There was nothing on snickometer either.

Shadab strikes again as Smith departs

Just when it seemed that the match was slipping away from Pakistan's grip, Shadab gets rid of Smith. The expensive leggie has two to his name now. The new man in is Glenn Maxwell.

Hafeez with the horror start

Hafeez opens his spell with arguably the most bizarre ball of his career. The ball slips out his hands, bounces on the pitch multiple times but get to Warner, who smacks it for a six. To add insult to injury, it's also called a no ball.

OVER 7: Marsh gone, Shadab strikes

Pakistan fans can breathe easy as Marsh is gone. The right-handed batsman skies a Shadab ball and is caught by Asif Ali. Format misfit Steven Smith is the new man in. He edges one to the boundary behind him and plays a sweet cut later but is stopped by the fielder.

Over 5: Nightmare start for Haris Rauf

Mitchell Marsh pulls Haris Rauf for a six on his first ball of the match and then edges for a boundary the next ball too. Rauf has been excellent all tournament but this is not the start he'd have imagined.

Over 1: Kangaroos clueless against Shaheen in opening exchanges

Shaheen traps Finch in front of the wickets as Aussie run chase gets off to the worst possible start. Mitchell Marsh also cops a yorker on his first ball, is given not out, a review is taken but replay shows the ball pitching outside leg. Fantastic over by the big southpaw, just one off it and a wicket.

STORY AT THE HALF

Mohammad Rizwan smashed 67 and Fakhar Zaman hit an unbeaten 55 as Pakistan reached 176 for four against Australia in the second semi-final of the twenty20 world Cup on Thursday.

Rizwan and Zaman, who hit three fours and fours sixes in his 32-ball blitz, put on 72 runs for the second wicket to help Pakistan to a challenging total after being invited to bat in Dubai.

Skipper Babar Azam made 39 before falling to Adam Zampa. Pace bowler Mitchell Starc took two wickets. The winner will play New Zealand, who beat England in the first semi-final, in the title clash on Sunday in Dubai.
