Let’s face it, Pakistan is truly the most unpredictable team the World Cup has to offer. After a disappointing defeat in the first match, the team showed everyone who’s boss by winning against England last night and posting the highest total of the World Cup by any time, so far. Talk about groundbreaking success!
People all over the country are in a state of extreme exhilaration since yesterday, including cricketers and celebrities who took to Twitter to congratulate the team and commend their efforts.
In fact, the Prime Minister himself congratulated the team for coming back into their rightful state after a disastrous first match.
Congratulations to the Pakistan cricket team for a great win and for coming back into form after a poor start in the warm up matches and the first WC match. You have the talent, all you need is the self belief that you can go all the way.

Veteran cricketers Wasim Akram and Shoaib Akhtar also joined in with congratulatory notes, with the former taking it as a birthday treat and the latter expressing joy over his predictions coming true. Ramiz Raja also complimented the team over its form.

Great comeback by Pakistan after that batting horror show against the Windies. Quite a remarkable turnaround in a span of few days. Well only Pakistan could have pulled it off. From self destructing to destroying the favourites!!
