Australia produced a stunning performance to beat Pakistan and book their place in the final of the T20 World Cup.
Adam Zampa and David Warner both impressed for Australia, but it was the finishing of Marcus Stoinis and Matthew Wade which was key as they completed a five-wicket win over Pakistan to set up a blockbuster clash with New Zealand in the final.
Having won the toss and decided to bowl first, Australia needed to make early inroads and break Pakistan's impressive opening partnership of Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan.
The pair are among the leading run scorers at the tournament and were able to continue their good form in the semi-final, putting on a 71-run partnership before Adam Zampa made the breakthrough.
Babar was the man dismissed, getting caught by David Warner at long-on for 39 after an attempted slog sweep.
It was an important wicket for Australia and Zampa was undoubtedly the pick of their bowlers, finishing with 1-22 from his four overs.
However, Babar's dismissal brought Fakhar Zaman to the crease and the left-hander teed off alongside Rizwan.
The pair took 21 runs off one over from Josh Hazlewood, both smacking the seamer for sixes, before Mitchell Starc dismissed Rizwan for 67 in the following over.
