Pakistan: King of the world
Pakistan enjoy a fairytale Lord's victory
Pakistan erupts in celebration after Twenty20 triumph
Pakistan yesterday won the World Twenty20, proving that pure love for cricket and outstanding natural talent is enough to make them kings of the world.
Beating Sri Lanka by eight wickets allowed the horrors of a terror attack four months ago to be put to one side with cricket taking centre stage and Pakistan at the heart of it.
This brilliant, magical and mercurial nation of cricketers has had more heartache and heartbreak to deal with than most, but with the sun streaming over Lord's this was their tonic.
On the field they lost the last Twenty20 World Cup Final and off it they dedicated this win to the memory of their late coach and former England cricketer Bob Woolmer who died suddenly during the last 50-over World Cup in 2007.
They did it in 1992 in the 50-over World Cup and now 17 years later Pakistan used every inch of their talent and ability to turn themselves from pretournament no-hopers to champions in the blink of an eye.
Khan now hopes that this win will bring cricket back to Pakistan which has not hosted any international matches since the terror attacks and has been stripped of hosting any games during the 2011 World Cup.
Pakistan erupted in celebration last night as Younis Khan and his men won the Twenty20 World Cup defeating Sri Lanka by eight wickets at Lords, London. The city of Karachi reverberated with fireworks as people thronged onto the streets to celebrate the national team's victory in the Twenty20 World Cup, a rare moment of joy for Pakistani citizens amid continuous blood bath.
Heavy fireworks went off as soon as the last run was scored with people chanting 'Pakistan Zindabad' and 'Pakistan cricket team zindabad' as the national team won its first World title after 1992. It is a historic moment for all of us. Younis and his boys could not have given the Pakistani people a more appropriate gift at this time. Cellular companies said their SMS and call services had been flooded after the final with people exchanging congratulatory calls and text messages. and lines got choked but we expecting this.
