Fans unfurled a 70-foot long national flag and carried it in the street as Sarfraz drove home in a special convoy provided by the provincial government.

Having failed to reach 250 before the final, Pakistan posted 338 for four thanks to a sensational century by Fakhar Zaman, who slammed 114 off 106 balls, then bowled out India in only 30.3 overs on the back of Mohammad Amir’s opening spell.
“I’ve had five semi-finals with South Africa and never got to a final,” Pakistan’s coach Mickey Arthur said.
“I got to one final with Pakistan and eventually got a medal, so that’s fantastic, but the credit goes to the players.”
