Arthur further said Pakistan did not want to be just making up the numbers in this competition and the team has showed that it wasn't.
Defending champions India will face Bangladesh in the other semifinal on Thursday at Edgbaston. We bowled a really good over and then we bowled a variation with our sixth ball and that's the ball that ended up going for a boundary.
Pakistan has made it to the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy after narrowly defeating Sri Lanka on Monday. "I'm proud of them".

Junaid Khan and Hasan Ali were the most economical bowlers for Pakistan as they bagged three wickets each. Pakistan were one over short of their target with time allowances taken into consideration. "The way he played was outstanding", conceded Sarfraz. Indeed, when Niroshan Dickwella, who top-scored with 73, and Angelo Mathews were in tandem, they looked destined for even bigger things, the pair's 78-run partnership in 16 overs seeing them to 161 for three in the 32nd over.
Roy apart, England appear to have all bases covered as they go in search of their first major ODI tournament title, with key fast bowler Mark Wood summing up their mood by saying: "It's great to be part of a team with so many game-changers.so many match-winners, with bat or ball".
