Pakistan are the Champions now!

June 21 has always been the longest day of the year and today this is also the biggest day for Pakistan as they took the biggest cricket spectacle by storm at Lord’s, the home of cricket.

This is indeed a great achievement for Pakistan who are deprived of playing international cricket at home as no country wants to come here for security concerns.

Pakistan began the mega event on a bad note, losing the opener to England, but they gradually got the tempo by moving into Super Eights where they outclassed Ireland, New Zealand and South Africa to march into the final.

In the final today, they thrashed the in-form Sri Lanka to snatch the coveted trophy. Now, they have become the world champions of Twenty20 cricket.

Younus Khan led his boys remarkably well to follow the footsteps of Imran Khan by lifting the World Cup trophy. This is a wonderful gift to his people who are facing terror at home. This will boost his nation’s morale back home. This will bring a wave of happiness in the country which is dogged by suicide bombing, political uncertainties and economic downslide.
