Its too bad that there wasn't more coverage of this tournament but I appreciate you posting these scores. Brathwaite looks to be a good prospect for the future, he had a excellent tournament and should continue to improve. Qadir also did good as he looks to continue in his fathers footsteps.

Congratulations to both teams for a good contest!
While Pakistan are known for having strong youth teams due to the abundance of talent in the country, it's both pleasing and interesting to see that the Windies have some good talent coming through. It suggests that their decline is more to do with management at the grassroots level (and just above) than a lack of talent.
By the way, is the "Qadir" mentioned in the abbreviated scorecard above any relation to the famous leggie Abdul Qadir? I think it may be his son Usman, but I don't know for sure.

Its good to see Pakistan cricket thriving at the international level. It will boost the grassroot cricket in the country and i hope it gives boost to the morale of our beloved team and some of the promising youngster emerge and perform at the national level. I strongly hope that Pakistan cricket comes out of controversies like Shoaib Akhtar and so on. Good luck to Pakistan cricket and the youngest Pakistan world cup winning team.
