Punjab Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi congratulated the Pakistan cricket team on their impressive victory against Sri Lanka in a World Cup match.
Pakistani players made history by showing excellent teamwork, he said, adding that the national players won the hearts of the nation by outclassing Sri Lanka.
“I believe that the result of teamwork is always positive,” Mohsin Naqvi said, adding that Pakistani batsmen achieved the big target and clinched the victory.
Mohammad Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique clubbed centuries as Pakistan chased down the highest target in World Cup history to beat Sri Lanka by six wickets in the Indian city of Hyderabad.
The diminutive Rizwan overcame leg cramps to score a 121-ball 131 not out while Shafique hit a 103-ball 113 as Pakistan overhauled their 345-run target in 48.2 overs.
The victory gives Pakistan two wins in as many games and a huge boost in confidence ahead of their high-profile clash against India in Ahmedabad on Saturday.
