Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam slammed half centuries as Pakistan powered past New Zealand by seven wickets on Wednesday, moving within one win of a second T20 World Cup title. They will meet either England or India—who play on Thursday in Adelaide—on November 13 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Pakistan set the tone with some razor sharp fielding and disciplined bowling that restricted New Zealand to just 152-4. Rizwan (57) and Azam (53) took apart the Black Caps` renowned bowling attack in a 105-run opening stand.
