Lol at People posting Pakistan Deserve the cup.
There are two separate groups in this Competition, hence Giving the trophy to the team which beat another team should not be taken into account. Let's say Sri Lanka (topper of another group) faces Pakistan (from another group) in final and the match ends in tie. How will you decide the winner ??
How about this - A team which lost less wickets than the opponent? Memon, you don't agree with this, do you?
Good result for both the teams...
Indians fixed the match, other wise Pakistan would have won.
As Indian batting start Pakistan never to be favorite . Pakistan favorite only on second last ball when 5 runs require and new batsman on crease but batsman hit four . scores was level India need 1 to win on last ball but Pakistani blower got the wicket on last ball . I think Pakistan deserve cup b/c they already beat India in round match .
It is technically a tie, not a draw.
Excellent result. Well done both teams.
The match was tied. there is a difference ET.
Great result, especially since the indian u19 side has some IPL players !
That was the most exciting "non televised" (sadly) match I followed, honestly a tie was the best result, and both teams unearthed some gems, Unmukt Chand and Sami Aslam especially.
agree with @ParasVikmani.
There should have been a super over. Anyways, congratulations to India and Pakistan :)
