This note is for Shariff Dynasty only. Shariff ( Lahore ) team was taken out of championship by Pishawar ( Imran Khan ) team and took two wickets in one bowl against Lahore ( Shariff ) team while Pishawer ( Shaikh Rashid ) team once again had taken three wickets in one bowl against Lahore ( Maryam Aurangzeb/Shariff ) .... two in field and and one imaginary ( and that is Maryam Aurangzeb / Shariff and Shabbaz Shariff ) Shame on Shariff Dynasty trying to divert attention from Panamagate but now no more new drama Cong to to Pishawer team and PAINDABAD PAKISTAN

Thanx for the pics. Finally the suspense is over. Pakistan succeeds. Pakistani people are rightly jubilant. No doubt the unprecedented security reflected the the apprehension and the possible mishaps/terrorism but it at the same time proves that we can stage any big sports events without any risk to the players. Well done security agencies; well done Pakistan.

IK is right, this is not how Pak should be conducting cricket.
Having said that I would like to add that I have no doubt that India and Afghanistan are behind most of the terrorists activity in Pak but in order to point that out Pak needs to clean its house first and needs to eliminate all the radicals, extremists and militants residing within its midst. Once Pak cleans the house then it will be very obvious what is going on and who is doing it.

LOVE YOU Pakistan - Great show of the brighter side of Pakistan. Under normal & peaceful situation any country can hold such a mega event but for a country facing terrorism on regular basis, holding such event is really commendable & shows the determination of the nation do defeat terrorism no matter how big or small. This event has reassured the world that Pakistan will not succumb to any terrorism and pressure. We stand by peace & we will live with peace with all peace seeking nations.
