Champions Trophy, Second Semifinal: New Zealand beats Pakistan to reach final against Australia in Champions Trophy
October 3, 2009
New Zealand booked a place in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy against Australia with a convincing five-wicket victory over Pakistan on Saturday. Grant Elliott cracked an unbeaten 75 to help his injury-hit team achieve a 234-run target with 13 balls to spare. He received valuable support from Vettori (41), adding 104 for the fifth wicket. Vettori was named man of the match for his all-round performance including the three wickets he took for 43 runs.
Earlier, electing to bat, Pakistan scored 233 for nine. They were 86 for four inside 21 overs before Yousuf's (45) experience and Akmal's (55) aggression put them back on track with an 80-run stand for the fifth wicket. Ian Butler (4/44) was the most successful Kiwi bowler.
New Zealand 234/5 (Elliot 75*, Vettori 41, Ajmal 2-39) beat Pakistan 233/9 (Umar Akmal 55, Butler 4-44) by five wickets
