That's that then. Pakistan are through. One of Sri Lanka or Zimbabwe will be as well. Sri Lanka have two games and need two wins. Join us for those games to see how they go. The one against Zimbabwe should be a cracker. For now, it's thank yous and goodbyes.

Salman Agha, Pakistan captain: It was perfect, this is what we wanted. Very happy. When you have almost 70-metre boundary, running becomes very crucial. This is what we look at during team meetings. Tariq was our x-factor. When he plays, he takes wickets. That's a sign of a player in a winning side.

Sikandar Raza, Zimbabwe captain: I thought apart from the last over, it was a typical Pindi wicket. I knew runs would be scored. But when we found ourselves in early trouble, someone needed to pick up responsibility. You gotta respect that the opposition will come with better plans. If you're not ahead of the game, teams will find you out. Game against SL we'll regroup. There needs to be accountability. The manner we've played spin we can't carry on like that. We'll help each other out and find our feet.

Usman Tariq, POTM: Blessed to have the honour of picking up the hat-trick. You have to be balanced, body should go forward, that is what helps me with my action. There's a big process behind my action, my coaches back in Peshawar, they brought me two kinds of variation. I need to take care of pace and spin variations. I wasn't expecting a big shot on the hat-trick ball, thanks to the batter. Credit to my captain.

Vicky: "Highest 10th wicket partnership for Zimbabwe, Cheeers"

Rajiv: "The equation for SL is so simple. You win the next 2 matches and go to the final. "

With the win, Pakistan have qualified for the final

9:21pm Despite the glowing 67* from Burl, gotta say that was one-sided. Nine single-figure scores tell the story. Raza looked good for a little while. Burl took off at the end. For Pakistan, Tariq was the pick of the bowlers. Nawaz chopped in with two. The rest of the bowlers took a wicket each.

Mohammad Wasim to Burl, OUT, Run out to finish. Not sure how but that is a doozy. Was a fullish ball down leg that went past the flick. Keeper didn't pick up the ball, and he ran forward. So, Ngarava, in an attempt to steal the run, was at the other end. Burl never left his crease. The ball was loobed high by the keeper and hit the non-strikers' stumps direct.

R Ngarava run out 5 (23m 5b 1x4 0x6) SR: 100

Faheem Ashraf to Ngarava, FOUR, Excellent pull from Ngarava this time. Raza and Co are all smiles. Good bumper but Ngarava's height means that comes around chest-height. Nailed through forward square
