Pakistan’s former flamboyant all-rounder Shahid Khan Afridi also congratulated the England cricket team and applauded their all-round performance in a grand semi-final.
Great all-round performance from team England! Brilliant aggressive batting to back the bowling effort. We will have a new #CWC19 winner and it should be a memorable final. Tough luck Australia #ENGvAUS
