Tourists leave in batches

Sport's Reporter
India’s Yuvraj Singh was the A < Kitply lirst player to CUP Hy out Of - Dhaka in the early hours of yesterday, but his destination was the Swiss city' of Basel, not Punjab.
The elegant left-hander is expected to give away the man-of-the-match's award at the Euro 2008 clash between heavyweights Portugal and hosts Switzerland and it was known that he was hoping to meet Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, one of his favourite sportsmen.
Yuvraj was chosen to represent India's sportsmen by Euro sponsors Carlsberg after Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni had been approached to do the honours but declined because of the tight Kitply Cup schedule.
Dhoni, the Pathan brothers -Yusuf and Irfan. Rohit Sharma and the support staff including manager Arindham Ganguly left Dhaka in a flight bound for Kolkata in the afternoon after eleven players flew out in the morning to New Delhi, a few'hours after Yuvraj's departure.
They all returned home to gear up for their next campaign in
Pakistan where they participate in die Asia Cup and then take part in a Test series against die hosts.
But some of the victorious Pakistan side members, including paccman Sohail Tanveer, are yet to leave the city after some ticketing snags. In all, seven cricketers are still in Dhaka and are expected to leave this afternoon while the rest of the squad left for Lahore in the morning with the trophy in hand.
Pakistan bounced back from a disappointing loss to India in die league match to beat their bitter rivals in the final of the competition by 25 runs at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Saturday.
Leading Indian newspaper Hindustan Times gave the fitting headline 'Pakistan 'Butt' India out by 25 runs' and blamed the bowlers for an uninspiring show while another newspaper the Hindu suggested the vacant fifth bowler spot for the loss.
"That Pakistan perform better under pressure was underlined in Dhaka on Saturday. Salman Butt and Younis Khan destroyed a lacklustre Indian attack.
"All the good work by India in the league matches was undone in the final as they crashed to an embarrassing 25-run defeat and

conceded the Kitply Cup to Pakistan." reported the Hindustan Times.
Salman and Younis slammed centuries and Umar Gul claimed four wickets to bowl out India for290 runs after Pakistan scored 315 in their 50 overs when all odds were against the winners going into the match.
Their 140-run loss to India induced a strong reaction from Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Nasim Ashraf who sent an e-mail to team manager Talat All referring the side's poor show in the match. He came down heavily on captain Shoaib Malik’s fitness and wicketkeeper Kamran.Akmal's integrity.
But Saturday's win again reaffirmed the notion that Pakistan are the most unpredictable side in world cricket and they become highly motivated when playing against their arch-rivals.
