Pakistan celebrate a wicket

Iqbal's half-century in a stand of 97 with Salman Qadir rescued Pakistan from 81-4 as they posted 230-9.

"I went out to play my natural game and do my best for my team," he said, after winning the man-of-the match award.

"With four wickets down I wasn't trying to go for big shots and just took the singles early on."

Coach Aqib Javed paid tribute to his team.

"This is a memorable moment as we are both under-15 and under-19 world champions now.

"The final against West Indies was tough but I am happy because that's how a World Cup final should really be," he said.

"It was an interesting final but I would still rate the win over India most satisfying.

"Wherever we play, whenever we play, if it's against India it's crucial and a win is really really thrilling - nothing can match it."

West Indies skipper Dinesh Ramdin offered no excuses after his side slumped to defeat.

They had their chances to take a grip on the match, but paid the price for some dreadful running between the wickets with four batsmen being run out.

"We made a few mistakes and they capitalised a lot," admitted Ramdin.
