USA vs PAK Encounter Ends in Historic Upset The marquee clash between Pakistan and the United States of America in the 2024 T20 World Cup witnessed a massive upset as the underdogs from the United States of America pulled off a sensational Super Over victory against the cricketing giants Pakistan in Dallas.
USA vs PAK Match Highlights:
Toss: USA won the toss and chose to bowl.
Batting first, Pakistan got off to a horror start, losing three wickets for just 26 runs. However, a defiant 72-run partnership between Babar Azam (44 off 43) and Shadab Khan (40 off 25) resurrected the innings. After Shadab’s dismissal, a late cameo from Shaheen Shah Afridi propelled Pakistan to 159/7. Nosthush Kenjige (3/30) and Saurabh Netravalkar (2/18) were the pick of the USA bowlers.
In a Reply, the United States of America batters attacked the Pakistani bowlers right from the outset. Despite losing wickets at regular intervals, they kept up with the required rate thanks to brisk knocks from captain Monank Patel (50 off 38), Andries Gous (35 off 26), and Aaron Jones (36 off 26). Pakistan clawed back in the death overs, but a horror final over from Haris Rauf, who conceded 14 runs, took the match to a super over.
Super Over
In the nerve-racking Super Over, Mohammed Amir’s profligate over, which included seven wides, cost Pakistan dearly as the USA amassed 19 runs. Pakistan could only manage 13 in response, handing a famous victory to the underdogs.
Conclusion:
Monank Patel was named Man of the Match for his stellar all-round performance as the USA scripted history by defeating a cricketing powerhouse like Pakistan in a World Cup match. The shocking result left Pakistani fans shell-shocked and will be an upset that will be remembered for ages in the sport’s folklore.
