The semifinal lineup for the Hong Kong Sixes 2025 is heating up as Australia and Pakistan are set to clash in Semifinal 1, promising an explosive contest between two of the tournament’s most dominant sides.

Australia stormed into the semis after a commanding win over Bangladesh, registering the highest total of the tournament with 149/2. Their batters — particularly Ben McDermott and Alex Ross — were in blistering form, smashing 21 sixes in the innings to secure a comfortable 54-run victory.

On the other hand, Pakistan produced one of the most thrilling finishes of the event, defeating South Africa by five wickets in just 3.5 overs. Abdul Samad was the hero of the match, hammering 50 off 10 balls*, including five consecutive sixes to seal the win in style.

With both teams boasting power-packed lineups and aggressive batting depth, the Australia vs Pakistan semifinal at Mission Road Ground, Mong Kok, is set to be a blockbuster encounter that could very well decide the eventual champion of Hong Kong Sixes 2025.
