Karachi, Sept.8 (ANI): Flag-waving and rifle shots greeted Afghanistan's Twenty20 tournament victory in Pakistan on Monday.
Afghanis danced to their traditional drum beat music to celebrate a famous win in Karachi in their debut at one of the most prestigious events on the T20 night circuit.
"It is a great feeling to win in Pakistan against a strong team," the Daily Times quoted key player Asghar Stanikzai, as saying.
He added: "You look at the support we have had and perhaps it is time other cricket playing nations took our cricket seriously."
A 61-run win against a team that included Pakistan stars Imran Nazir and Rana Navedul Hasan underlined Afghanistan's emergence as a serious cricket-playing nation.
The support for the Afghans was infectious with thousands of Afghani immigrants including young girls and children who live in Karachi supported their team during the tournament. (ANI)
