Pakistan and Twenty20 world Cup: Twenty20 semifinal vs ICC World Cup Semifinal (1992)

Pakistan and Twenty20 world Cup: Twenty20 semifinal vs ICC World Cup Semifinal (1992)

Pakistan reached Final beating New Zealand by 6 wickets in the first semifinal of Twenty20 world Cup in Cape Town. In this moment I want to remind the readers who saw the ICC World Cup in 1992 and who did not see just know that what was the result at semi-final. Pakistan played the semi-final along with New Zealand. At that time, Pakistan beat New Zealand also won ICC Trophy by beating England, that time Imran Khan was the captain and that was his last world cup may he retired from International Cricket. The ICC championship was hosted by Australia.

Shoaib says: "First of all I want to thank you my team-mates. It's a great win, our bowlers, they're bowling brilliantly at the moment, they contained them."

Vettori says: "It just wasn't to be this time. We've been ragged with our batting. It's bitterly disappointing and I know the boys will be hurting a lot."

Shoaib again: "We are going to improve on our mistakes for the final where we will give 100 per cent."

Umar Gul is the deserved Man of the Match, with 3 for 15. "We have done a lot of hard work for the Twenty20, a lot of practice for yorkers, bouncers and the slower ones. We hope to continue with the same performance and I will try my best to perform the same way."

So, like 1992 ICC Final Pakistan suppose to win the Twenty20 Trophy. And the captain Shoeb Malik’s Dram is coming true which he told the media. In a international online newspaper The News reported a news with the heading “Skipper wants T20 crown”. Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik said his team was looking beyond tomorrow’s semifinals after they laboured to a four-wicket win over Bangladesh in their final World Twenty20 Super Eights match here at the Newlands on Thursday.
