That the date of victory, 24 coincides with our World Cup victory after 24 years.
That, like our previous 83 World Cup triumphs, our young team successfully defended a not so high score. That Yuvaraj created a record of hitting six sixers in an over in an world event though the same was achieved by Gibbs of South Africa in a match among two countries. That, he also answered his critics and avenged his bowling fiasco of allowing five sixers against England by scoring six sixers against the same team that too in the world event.That, the undefeated South Africa was once for all sent home by our convinving win over them. That, our bowlers have proved that 20 cricket is not only a batsmen paradise but also that of bowlers by their success in bowling out option against Pakistan in the league match and also dismissing all of them in the finals. Last but not the least, our record of continuous success against Pakistan in World Cup matches.
