We rise above: Artists over the moon as Pakistan make it to World Cup final

Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam slammed half centuries as Pakistan powered past New Zealand by seven wickets and into the Twenty20 World Cup final Wednesday, moving within one win of a second title. 

They will meet either England or India - who play on Thursday in Adelaide - in the November 13 decider at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Throughout the match, fans and celebrities alike were cheering for the green shirts. After the team qualified for final, many artists took to social media and expressed joy. Have a look:

Pakistan set the tone at the Sydney Cricket Ground with some razor sharp fielding and disciplined bowling that restricted New Zealand to just 152-4.

In front of 36,443 strongly pro-Pakistan spectators, Rizwan (57) and Azam (53) took apart the Black Caps' renowned bowling attack in a 105-run opening stand, and despite a nervous finish after both fell, they completed a deserved victory with five balls to spare.
