PLAYER OF THE MATCH
12:57 Local Time, 04:57 GMT, 10:27 IST: A cracking game and Pakistan prevail to enter the final. The top three didn't fire but Australia didn't give up. Ross and Green took the attack to the opposition to keep their team in the hunt. Abbas Afridi bowled a superb penultimate over as he gave away just 7 runs and removed Ross in the process. With 30 needed off the final over, Pakistan were firm favourites. But Abdul Samad bowled a no-ball and conceded 23 runs off 4 legitimate deliveries. With 7 needed off the last two balls, Green got run-out and Tye couldn't hit a six off the final ball. Switch tabs to follow the second semi-final between Kuwait and England. See you there...
