The Twenty20 final between India and Pakistan begins in less than an hour! Apparently, it's been almost 8 years or so since Pakistan made it to the final of any cricket tournament - or so I've been told. And a Pakistan-India match...well nothing could top this for folks in or belonging to either of the 2 countries.
Suffice it to say, Asad and I are excited and will be glued to the match. Good luck Pakistan...or as the new mantra seems to be...chak de Pakistan!
Hopefully a celebratory post will be in order later today (Inshallah :-)!).
In the meantime, an image from All Things Pakistan that IMHO captures the essence of the importance of the game - the jubilation, patriotic jazba (passion), and the sheer junoon (madness, mania...in the sense of overwhelming passion) of it all.

The Pakistan-India clash should give you plenty of fodder for your research. Too bad about the outcome though, eh?
It sure did. A different outcome would have been greatly preferred :-).
