There was celebration everywhere outside the Sharjah Stadium. Pakistan secured a dramatic victory with 4 balls to spare. In the second leg, India and Afghanistan faced each other with the second win. Both the teams, India and Afghanistan, were eliminated from the tournament. The final between Pakistan and Sri Lanka is being played in Dubai today
When Afghanistan lost the match, he threw chairs at Pakistan fans outside and inside the Dubai Stadium and also damaged the stadium. Their players also during the game when Asif hit a six on one ball and got on the second ball, the Afghanistan player did a very silly dance to dismiss him and also pushed the Pakistan player. Our cricket board should protest against this, Afghanistan players in England took the same action. Neither ICC took any action against them nor our cricket board protested against this attitude of Afghanistan. Our cricket board should punish the player who misbehaved at the first opportunity. If the Pakistanis did this, would the people of Afghanistan take the same attitude towards us? Pakistan should not protest against the irresponsible behavior of Afghan players.
