T20 World Cup 2021: Pakistan withstand turbulence, shut naysayers in jinx-breaking India win

Firstpost  

Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan sprint back for the second run, Pakistan have beaten India for the first time in a cricket World Cup, be it T20Is or ODIs. Wounds of the next generation that is haunted by the fielding display at Mohali in the 2011 ODI World Cup, the same generation which resigned to accepting Pakistan would never beat India in World Cups. On the day Pakistan’s T20 World Cup squad was announced, head coach Misbah Ul Haq and bowling coach Waqar Younis resigned. Ahead of the 1999 World Cup, Pakistan’s head coach Javed Miandad resigned less than a month before the tournament and the team made the final. On the eve of the 2009 T20 World Cup, chief selector Abdul Qadir resigned while captain Younis Khan said T20 cricket “was a bit of fun” and Pakistan won the World Cup.
