When New Zealand lost by 96 runs, hundreds of people burst into joys carrying the national flags, setting off fireworks and dancing at the beautifully decorated Chowk.
This was the first event of its kind organized at the conclusion of any tournament in Abohar's history, where representatives from various organizations and cricket fans gathered in such large numbers without any written invitation. Among those who congratulated the event was veteran social activist Chaman Lal Wadhwa, based in Delhi. He kept on boosting morale of the organisers and shared Urdu couplets as well.
