T20 World Cup 2021, PAK vs AUS, Semi Final Live Score: Australia skipper Aaron Finch has won the toss and elected to bowl vs Pakistan in the second semifinal of tournament.
Australia skipper Aaron Finch has won the toss and elected to bowl vs Pakistan in the second semifinal of the ongoing T20 World Cup at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Thursday. Both the teams have made no changes in their playing XI. Pakistan have been in top form in the tournament till now as they were unbeaten in the Super 12 Round while Australia lost one game to England. Pakistan have never won an ICC knockout game against Australia but they have a very good chance to change their fortune this time with a well-balanced team. On the other hand, Australia who made it to the semifinals on basis of a better net run-rate than South Africa had struggled with their team combination in the initial matches but later towards the conclusion of the Super 12 round they ticked their main boxes. The winners of this clash will face New Zealand in the final at the same venue on Sunday. (LIVE SCORECARD)
"We will bowl. The wicket will not change a lot over the course of the game. The guys are relaxed, there'll be obvious nerves. This pitch has played true right through the IPL and the World Cup and expect more of the same tonight, no changes in the playing XI," said Australia captain Aaron Finch after winning the toss.
