It was a great win for Pakistan. I hope that they can repeat their performance in the next match against Australia. India doesn't seems to have a complete team as the Australian will be consolidating there skills to produce a good showing in the next Quarterfinal. I think that it will be a great Semi Final between Pakistan and Australia...Go Pakistan! Pakistan Zindabad....

In timesof india I had commented that dont close your eye for pakis also as they rise like a giant and capable to bow the head of any team down. I like pak players as they play and hunt like tiger and never allow to take away from paws. India should not take easy as to face tough team like aus in qtr and if win then pakis waiting for to grab.
