Summary
New Zealand beat Pakistan by five wickets to secure their place in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy alongside Australia. Batting first, the Pakistan team managed a score of 233 in their 50 overs after a middle order batting collapsed. They never really recovered, and a fifth wicket partnership between Captain Daniel Vettori and Grant Eliot proved crucial as the New Zealanders snatched victory in the 48th over. The final will now be played on Monday.
