Getting 1 point after getting bundled out for 74 gave the chance to IK to rule over Pakistani psyche as a forever legend.

Fluke is harsh but yes lucky.
It indeed was a manifestation of Qudrat ka Nizam
 
It wasn’t a fluke, it was well earned. Yes they were lucky and qudrat ka nizam and all that but semis and final was won fair and square and that’s what matters. In fact no stigma of ball magically reversing suddenly too so bonus points for that.

It wasn’t as epic as 1983 World Cup win or as surprising as 1996 SL win but a memorable win for sure.
 
Alot of people dont know is that the rained off match that saved Pakistan, was a match that certain defeat was written as they barely posted a score on board.

I always believe that a win is a win, no matter what. But do accept that flukes happen.

Still i would take a fluke tournament over a tournament where we won all games and lost 1
