Pakistan off to a good start against Australia
Australia enter T20 final!
Australia took down Pakistan in a closely contested match at the World Twenty20 semi-final, which saw the Aussies pull through despite the green shirts putting up an epic 191 runs on the board.
Australian captain Michael Clarke won the toss and chose to bowl against Pakistan in the second semifinal of the Twenty20 World Cup at Beausejour Stadium in St Lucia on Friday.
The start of the match was delayed due to rain.
Pakistan were pushed to the brink after their one-run defeat to New Zealand in their second Super Eight match but the defending champions bounced back to beat South Africa and with a stroke of luck sneaked into the semifinals.
Australia, on the other hand, have crushed whosoever have come under their wheels and remain unbeaten in the tournament so far.
Michael Hussey's latest rescue mission saw Australia beat defending champions Pakistan by three wickets with just a ball to spare to reach the World Twenty20 final on Friday.
Pakistan set a huge 192 to win, Australia collapsed to 62 for four.
Australia needed 18 to win off the last over, from off-spinner Saeed Ajmal. Mitchell Johnson took a single off the first ball and then Hussey took over.
The left-hander pulled Ajmal for six, struck him over long-on for six more, brought the scores level with a four and thumped another six for good measure as Australia finished on 197 for seven.
The man-of-the-match faced just 24 balls, but hit six sixes and three fours.
Brothers Kamran and Umar Akmal both scored fifties as Pakistan piled up 191 for six.
