Babar Azam, Lady Luck, Black Caps and fifty that drove Pakistan to final of T20 World Cup

India TV News  

Some things are bound to happen. New Zealand are known to be one of the, if not the best fielding sides in the world, but in the semifinals against Pakistan, the tag went for a huge toss. Babar Azam roared back in form as the Pakistan skipper played a match-winning knock against New Zealand in the semifinals of the T20 World Cup, and when he did, Fortuna, the greek godess of luck, was by his side. Earlier, New Zealand set a just about par total of 152, and Babar Azam, who was woefully out of touch the entire tournament, looked tentative, to begin with. The 11th over from Ferguson saw Babar hit another lovely-looking shot over mid-wicket and complete his first fifty of the World Cup with a double.
