Former champion Pakistan earned one lifeline in the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup, despite being nearly ousted from the competition. As the Netherlands shocked South Africa, Pakistan trumped Bangladesh to seal its place in the semis, where it also brutalised New Zealand to enter the final. It is awaiting the winner of the second semis between fellow former champions India and England in the final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday. Meanwhile, while the Pakistani mass celebrates its entry into the final, here's who the fans and former Pakistan cricketers want to face in the final, reports PTI.

Former Test spinner Iqbal Qasim: "I will support India to beat England because there is nothing like a match between the two countries, and I should know as I have played in some of them."

Cricket writer and film critic Omair Alavi: "If we play India in the World Cup final and can defeat it, it would be a double-decker win for every Pakistani."
