This defeat is not a defeat but a lesson which needs to be learnt. Being a Pakistani, We had expectations but now, we must have positive attitude especially towards our national team. Captain Shahid Afridi did a great job despite a lot pressures. He took us in semi final which was a big achievement and he promised for it that fulfilled. A team which was being stained by all corners of world with the labeling of match/ spot fixing reaches semi final of a mega event, itself a victory. Pakistan team proved that it has potential and can stand amongst the international teams. As far as semi final defeat is concerned, we should analyze our weaknesses and plan according by addressing these flaws. Otherwise blame game, mudslinging and allegations can produce more negative results. At this stage a message should go from the nation to our cricket team that we love you and stand by you. This match is not last match of our lives; move on with a better and responsible attitude towards new goals.
Let’s stand by our national cricket team and appreciate them for what they did and forgive them for what they couldn’t do. Every Pakistani should hold their head high, we qualified to semi finals. We are one of the world’s 4 best teams. There are lessons that need to be learnt at an individual and national level from the mohali semi-finals. We need to be more disciplined as a team and nation with focus on strategic leadership and team work at all levels needs come into play.
Pakistan Zindabad.
