Grant Elliot hit a masterly unbeaten 75 as New Zealand sneaked into the final of the ICC Champions Trophy, upsetting the Pakistani applecart by five wickets in the see-saw second semifinal match here on Saturday.
Chasing 234 to book a berth in Monday’s final against Australia, New Zealand fumbled as Aaron Redmond (31) and Ross Taylor (38) failed to convert the starts before Grant Elliot (75 not out off 103 balls) played a heroic knock in company of his captain Daniel Vettori (41 off 42 balls) to help them reach 234 for five in 47.5 overs.
Earlier, Umar Akmal (55) and Mohammad Yousuf (45) had starred in a 80-run stand for the fifth wicket and Mohammad Aamer (19) and Saed Ajmal (14) added 35 runs off 34 balls for the last wicket to help Pakistan to a modest 233 for nine.
