    What's the story

    Australia ended Pakistan's superb run in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021.

    The Aussies beat Pakistan in the second semi-final in Dubai.

    After winning all of their Super 12 matches, Pakistan faltered as the Aussies stepped up.

    Put into bat, Pakistan managed to put up 176/4 in 20.

    Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman slammed fifties.

    Australia reached the target with six balls to spare.

    Information

    Hasan Ali's drop proves to be costly

    Australia were 96/5 at one stage before Stoinis (40*) and Wade (41*) changed the match. Hasan Ali dropped Wade in the 19th over as the latter then smashed three successive sixes to seal the deal. Wade ended up with a 17-ball 41*.

    Context

    Why does it matter?

    Pakistan were superb throughout the tournament and had this match under control.

    However, Australia handled the pressure situation better as Pakistan lost their way at the death.

    Besides Hasan's drop catch, this was the 11th match won by a side batting second in Dubai in the ongoing tourney.

    This factor played a role as credit goes to Australia for turning up in ICC tournaments.
