I am a staunch Pakistani supporter and congratulation to Pak cricket.However I would have been nearly as happy if Tigers had won it on their own soil.Just Imagine,beating India then Srilanka and winning against Pakistan would have been the icing on the cake.They still acquitted themselves wonderfully and I am sure all Bangladesh appreciates.Congratulations and well done Pakistan and best wishes for the future to the Tigers.

Congratulations to Pakistan team. Bangladesh played very well throughout the tournament. No doubt they will come back even stronger and pumped up. I enjoyed watching their games against big gun. They have potential to take on any team. Good luck team Bangladesh in future.

Assalamualaikum, With regards to your title, I would have agreed it before. But after I read in the newspaper that Bangladesh Cricket Board is saying that they should have won since Cheema obstructed their batsman while running between the wickets. Their goes down the drain our emotions. Bangladesh grow up please.

Brothers, don't worry bangladesh is growing with Allah's fazal , but how long you guyz will cheat . Your cricketers go to jail , they bite the bowl and they stop batsment from running. Just look at replays of match , what is use of such win . Bangladesh not only won the heart and also the match morally. You had lost actually emotinally once you guys lost to India , you cannot digest so against bangladesh you wanted to win by hook or by cook
