Its been two years since India won the inaugural T20 world cup.Today we will be witnessing the finals of the second ICC T2o cricket World Cup.Two years back a promising Pakistani side lead by a promising star(Misbah ul Haq) almost beat a young Indian side .But riding on the success of their vibrant/lucky captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni(Mahi) India won that match and brought a World Cup back to a cricket crazy nation.
But amongst all that excitement one could do nothing but feel sorry for the Pakistani team who had that final in their pockets somewhere in the middle of the last over.Today that Pakistani team has reached the finals of the 2nd T20 WC as well. And DESPITE all that has happened in India in the last few months thanks to the insurgents from across the border ,I for one want to see this Pakistani team win this final. I want them to win it for the people of that nation which has been plagued by national & international politics. I want them to win it for all those people in Pakistan who have been affected by the Taliban captivation and the National Army's bid to push them out of their country. I want them to win for all those Pakistani cricket fans who have been deprived of cricket (the national team didnt play much cricket last yr )thanks to the security condition in their nation.For all these reasons they deserve to win it this season.
GO Pakistan GO !!!
