How critical was that performance from Sarfraz Ahmed? That's made the difference, and well done to Cheema for keeping his nerves in that final over. Quiet, silent, melancholy faces in the Bangladesh dressing room and also in stadium but this has been some tournament for them. Just short by three runs in the end,when they walk out to shake hands with the Pakistan team,they are weeping and it should be because it is a great event for Bangladesh cricket. Will this mark the turning point for Bangladesh in all cricket? But they have won the respect of the cricketing world, beating India and Sri Lanka on their way here and giving Pakistan a tough time twice. Tears in the eyes of Mushfiqur Rahim, the captain and there's Shakib consoling him. Pakistan have won this tournament for the second time after 12 years.Congrat's to Pakistan.
