Against all odds, Sarfraz Ahmed's men defeated a strong English side who remained unbeaten at the group stage and reached the final of the tournament.

From the very beginning, the Pakistani's looked the dominant side as they outclassed their opponents in every department.

England surprisingly were bowled out for just 211 as their star-studded batting struggled in front of a disciplined Pakistani bowling attack.

Unlike the other matches, where the Pakistani batsmen made a simple run chase complicated, they were off to flying start and never gave the vibe that they would lose.

The match was always in their group and they finished it off in style by registering an 8-wicket win. They will face the winner of India Vs Bangladesh in the second semi-final today (June 15).
