New Zealand, led by one of the most composed captains in Kane Williamson, were comprehensively outplayed as the BlackCaps were denied a second successive T20 World Cup final berth. Pakistan rose from the ashes to knock out one of the most consistent sides in ICC events in what turned out to be a one-sided semi-final . Shaheen Afridi set the tone with the ball, Shadab Khan led their impressive fielding show and their batting mainstays, captain Babar Azam and fellow opener Mohammad Rizwan, proved naysayers wrong by coming to the party on the big day.
