From ‘fun start’ to ‘fun end’: Pakistan captain’s brutal reply to India skipper

In the final, Pakistan were at their ruthless best. Batting first, they piled up 135/3 with explosive hitting across the order. Kuwait, who had stunned several big teams including Afghanistan, India, and England to reach the final, began their chase in blazing fashion — hammering 32 runs off the opening over. But Pakistan’s bowlers regrouped swiftly. Shahzad, Maaz Sadaqat, and Abbas Afridi bowled tight lines, triggering a dramatic collapse. Kuwait went from dream start to total despair, eventually folding well short of the target.
