In Pictures: Australia stun Pakistan in thriller to reach T20 World Cup final

Australia's Matthew Wade and Marcus Stoinis celebrate after winning the ICC Men's T20 World Cup semi-final match against Pakistan, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai, UAE. Needing 20 off the final 10 balls, Wade was dropped by Hassan Ali before hitting the next three deliveries for six to complete a stunning pursuit of 177 and book their spot in the final on Sunday where they will face New Zealand.

Pakistan's Shadab Khan reacts at the end of the match. Pakistan had been the best team in the tournament having played 5 games and won all 5 before losing last night in painful fashion when they had looked all set on winning comfortably and reaching the final.

Wade plays the winning shot, a six off Shaheen Afridi. It was his third in a row but four balls earlier he had been dropped by Hassan Ali. Had gotten out then the result could well have been very different.

Khan celebrates the dismissal of Australia's Glenn Maxwell. Pakistan were favourites with Australia needing 62 off the last five overs and 37 off the final three but the Aussies showed amazing fighting spirit.

Pakistan's cricketers leave the field at the end of the match. They played some brilliant cricket throughout the tournament and can feel proud of their performances.
