World Cup 2019: Dil Dil Pakistan echoes across Nottingham as Green Shirts beat England

NOTTINGHAM: Streets of Nottingham were echoed with chants of Dil Dil Pakistan on Monday following Pakistan’s hard-fought win against England in World Cup match.

As soon Pakistan competed the 14-run win, jubilant fans at Trent Bridge started dancing on streets, cheering the comeback in tournament by the boys in green.

Excited fans termed Pakistan’s win as a new beginning and hoped that the momentum will continue.
