Bangladesh did not win by chance or luck. They were better than Pakistan in every department. Bangladesh as a team was of better quality than Pakistan. Better batsmen, better bowlers, better fielders. This has got to be the most embarrassing moment… https://t.co/mlr4aKg5Jg

Thanks to PCB, especially Zaka Ashraf and Moshin Naqvi. Thanks to the media, especially the Karachi mafia and our players, especially Shan, Babar and Abdullah, for the first time in the history of cricket, BAN beat Pakistan 2-0 and we went wild in our hometown. #PAKvsBAN pic.twitter.com/kcWTSEMAYw
