    Captain Younis Khan with his team and the ICC World Twenty20 trophy at Lord’s on Sunday.

    They fell in the space of two overs, but Shahid Afridi, fresh off his single-handed demolition of South Africa, was in the mood again. He started with an uncharacteristic collection of singles, waiting for the right moment to unleash the big hits. Muttiah Muralitharan bore the brunt - going for a massive one over mid-wicket and a regal boundary to extra-cover. Isuru Udana suffered worse - 19 came off the 19th over of the chase.

    Two years ago, Pakistan fell short by an agonising five runs against India. Today, they could’ve chased many, many more.
