T20 World Cup Final

The final of the T20 world cup ended with leaving the nation in a sorry state. It was a close finish. Pakistan could win the match but lack of experience played its role in our defeat. Misbah's presence on the crease kept the hopes alive till the end. He showed that he could do well in the pressure situation as well. No matter how experienced a batsman is, it requires just one ball to get him out, just one lose stroke and you are back to the pavilion and the same happened in case of Misbah's dismissal.

This tournament, especially the last match proves it once again that there is no justification for the inclusion of Younis khan in the
squad. I don't understand why one should keep laughing when you are unable to play a single delivery on its merit. The selection committee needs to reconsider the inclusion of Younis Khan in the side. They should keep in mind the maxim, "Kharboozay to dekh ker kharbooza rung pakarta hay."
