After 1992 World Cup, again Pakistan lifts the cup

The King of the Twenty20 is Pakistan. They have won the World Twenty20 final. It is their first major title in 17 years. They beat SriLanka by 8 wickets at Lord’s on Sunday.

Seamer Abdur Razzaq took 3 wickets and Shahid Afridi hit an unbeaten 54 off 40 balls. The Pak team bowled and fielded aggressively and restricted Sri Lanka to 138-6.

This score of Afridi is his second consecutive half-century.

Former captain Shoaib Malik made 24 runs and he was not out. He made a match-winning partnership of 76 for the undefeated third wicket.

Pakistan won 50 overs World Cup in 1992 when Imran Khan’s team lifted the cup. They beat England at the Melbourne cricket ground in Australia.
