Pakistan is all set to take up Australia in the second semi-final of T20 World Cup tonight. Not only Pakistanis but also some foreigners are also praying for the Pakistan’s victory in the game.
British High Commissioner to Pakistan Christian Turner is also among the foreigners who are supporting the Greenshirts.
Turner took to Twitter said: “That was a rollercoaster. Now I wait for my other team to go through – good luck PK! Ab sab umeed Pakistan par hai! Congratulations.”

The other foreigner is the legendary former Pakistan bowler Wasim Akram’s wife Shaniera Akram.
She also took to Twitter to show her best wishes for the Greenshirts.
My answer is I’d love PAK to win because nothing would make me happier than to see the cricket fanatic country I have grown to love go the distance. Lifting the #t20WorldCup would be a dream come true for Pakistan! But if Australia win, Ofcourse I’d be really happy too #PAKvAUS

Sania Mirza, the Indian tennis star and wife of Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik is also among the foreigners praying for Pakistan’s win in the second semi-final to be played tonight in the UAE.
Like the New Zealand, who beat favorite England, Pakistan will have to change the history by defeating Australia in an ICC knock out match.
Kangaroos have won all four ICC knockout matches against greenshirts. In the 1987 World Cup semi-final, Australia beat Pakistan, Kangaroos won the 1999 World Cup final. Australia also emerged victorious in 2010 semi-final and 2015 World Cup quarter-final.
