Pakistan wins third consecutive Veterans Cricket World Cup

Pakistan's Over 50s cricket team won the Veterans Cricket World Cup, defeating Sri Lanka by six wickets in Colombo. This victory marks Pakistan's third consecutive title in veterans' cricket, following wins in the Over 40s and Over 60s World Cups. The team faced tough competition, overcoming challenges from various countries, including a thrilling two-run victory over India in the quarter-finals. Pakistan's strong performance continued through the semi-finals, where they defeated England by nine runs. Despite their achievements, the team's success has not received significant recognition in Pakistan. The Pakistan Veterans Cricket Association has been self-financed, and there are calls for government support and acknowledgment of their accomplishments.
