Why is there mourning in Pakistan over India’s victory?

In fact, as soon as the Indian team defeated the Australian team in the first semi-final, there was mourning in Pakistan because if India played in the final, Pakistan would lose the hosting rights of the final match of the Champions Trophy, since India would not go to Pakistan to play the match due to security reasons.

Despite being the host of this tournament, Pakistan is being deprived of hosting the final match. The Gaddafi Stadium built for the Champions Trophy in Pakistan at a huge cost of Rs 128 crore will miss out on hosting the final of the Champions Trophy. This will be a big blow for Pakistan which is facing financial crisis. Pakistan was already facing financial crisis and in such a situation losing the hosting rights of the final match of the Champions Trophy will prove to be a big blow for it. The final match of this tournament is already scheduled for March 9.
