KARACHI: Hundreds of thousands of people have come out on the streets all across Pakistan cities including Karachi, Hyderabad, and Lahore to celebrate Pakistan’s victory against India by 54 runs in an ODI of ICC Champions Trophy at Centurion park on Saturday night, Geo news reported.

With this win Pakistan have also qualified for the semi final race by beating West Indies and now India in two consecutive matches of their group.

People in jubilation are dancing on drums doing Bhangra (traditional dance) and chanting slogans in spirit of victory.

Young boys are riding motorcycles and doing wheelies on main roads in Karachi, Lahore and Hyderabad.

Yeah, it's not like we've won the CT yet. I would wait until we win the CT and celebrate or not celebrate at all.

I really dont care if we dont win the CT anymore. This was always the game we had to win no matter what.

Party till the sun comes up boys. :afridi

And AZ, the CT is a defunct tournament, which will soon be abolished altogether; we havent played India in over a year, and the thousands of indians in my general vicinity were giving me crap for over a year.

So its an extra special win :inti

an india pak match is bigger than a CT final..

[haroonrasheed320]

A win against India is bigger then the Champions Trophy most of the Pakistan thinks that way, like it or not so do I

To be honest..there's so little to be happy about these days in Pakistan..that something like this can go a LONG way in making people happy at least momentarily..

[siccric]

I was one of the throngers :afridi

Let us have fun, man, there isn't much else to celebrate around here these days

I hope we can do the same on the Champions Trophy final day. Anything is possible :yk
