The Kiwi opener was settling in with three boundaries as he scored at a run-a-ball rate to contribute 20 runs for the side before the run out was inflicted. Conway pushed the delivery from premier Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf towards mid-off as he decided to take a quick single with captain Kane Williamson on the other end. However, Khan, fielding at mid-off showed his awareness to collect the ball and direct-hit it at bowler’s end which found Conway short off his ground.

How did NewZealand innings fare out in the semi-finals?
Kane Williamson (46) and Daryl Mitchell (53 not out) played resilient knocks as premier Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi scaled two wickets to restrict New Zealand to 152/4 in the first semi-final.
The 2021 runners-up looked in a spot of bother in the powerplay as they lost their opener Finn Allen (4) and Devon Conway (21). Later, incoming batter, Glenn Phillips (6) could not add much to their tally as he was sent packing after a soft dismissal off spinner Shadab Khan.
However, Williamson and Mitchell forged a 68-run stand for the fourth wicket, to keep New Zealand in hunt for a big total. Following the dismissal of the Kiwi skipper, incoming batter James Neesham, added 16 runs off 12 deliveries with Mitchell playing his natural game to take New Zealand to a decent total.
