Print Edition
Pakistanis engaged in frenzied celebrations after a thrilling Asia Cup win against arch-rival India late on Sunday, with one boy killed by jubilant firing in the air.
All-rounder Shahid Afridi hit two sixes off the final over to seal a one-wicket win in Dhaka in a crucial match. Pakistan was chasing India’s 245-8.
The victory was watched by millions in the country and young people jammed the streets of Karachi till late into the night.

“Afridi has made us proud,” said Khalid Shah. “Any win over India is just like winning the World Cup, so we are out to savor this,” he said.
