And Pakistan Lost..... :(

Yesterday, I waited the entire day to watch the match against Pakistan and India. The final of World Twenty20. All day long the only thought that captured my mind was this game, the only thing we talked about at the university was this match.
At 5 the match started...... it was no doubt a very good and interesting match,, but then again most of Pak India matches are. atleast for us Pakistanis they are. All we really care about is Pakistan winning against India, no matter what. Even if Pakistan looses every single match against each and every team, but they manage to win against India, for us that would be more than enough, if they win against India, it would be the same as winning the World Cup.
But yesterday Pakistan lost by 5 runs. 5 runs only yaar. The match was so good. At one point, it seemed like Pakistan would loose. But I am a kind of person who is pessimistic about everything else but when it comes to Pakistan cricket, I'll be saying Pakistan would win this match even if it's obvious that from this point they could only loose. And so it was yesterday too. I kept on watching the game (after all they only had to play 20 overs), and Misbah-ul-Haq, the soul of yesterday's match, took the match to a point where only 5 runs were needed from 30 balls, and then he played that dreaded shot and was caught, and that was the end of it all. Pakistan lost.
But we are not that depressed about yesterday's game, after all it was a good match. Pakistan put up a good fight, and that's what important. :) :)
