“It was really good and beating India always provides some special moments for everyone involved in Pakistan cricket. Of course, I enjoyed the occasion and the match, and the result was just perfect. There was pressure on us, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play against India in a Twenty20 World Cup and I was really grateful for that opportunity.”
While India crashed out of the group stages, Pakistan continued their unbeaten run to reach the semifinal before bowing out of the competition losing to Australia in the semifinal.
