Australia skipper Aaron Finch won the toss and elected to bowl against Pakistan in the second semi-final of the Twenty20 World Cup on Thursday as he looked to break the Asian giants' dominance in their UAE "backyard".

Pakistan, led by Babar Azam, won all of their five Super 12 matches, the only team in the tournament with a perfect record.

Both teams come in unchanged into the contest in Dubai that has witnessed 10 out 11 matches won by the team batting second.

"The wicket will not change a lot over the course of the game," Finch said at the toss.

"The guys are relaxed, there'll be obvious nerves. This pitch has played true right through the IPL (Indian Premier League) and the World Cup and expect more of the same tonight."

Australia are five-time winners of the 50-over World Cup but await their first T20 World Cup crown in six attempts.
