‘Still proud’ Pakistan mourns T20 WC defeat

Agency :
Hunched over phones, packed into heaving grandstands, and crowded around restaurant TVs, cricket-crazed Pakistanis suffered collective heartbreak on Sunday as they watched their team go down to England in the Twenty20 World Cup final.
Jos Buttler’s England held Pakistan to 137-8 in Melbourne, then chased it down with six balls to spare.
Shamsa Khizan was among the ranks of fanatical female fans in the front rows before a towering screen in a park in the smoggy capital Islamabad.
Over the course of the afternoon, their howls of encouragement grew fainter, then fell silent.
As they dispersed in hushed disappointment, Khizan told AFP she was left with a “hollow mind”.
