Shane Watson said “but from all reports, all the people that went along to that game said it was something very special and the game was obviously an amazing game to watch on TV as well. They played in the T20 World Cup final in 2007 and everyone would love to see it again.”
He said Pakistan will be a dangerous side in semifinals, adding that “there are certain times in all tournaments where a team just falls across the line and somehow finds its way into the finals and then goes on to win it.”
