US stuns Pakistan in Super Over thriller at T20 World Cup

US v Pakistan T20 2024 news

The United States achieved a historic upset by defeating former champions Pakistan in a super over during a T20 World Cup match in Dallas.

Despite Pakistan’s recovery to post 159-7 after a shaky start, the US tied the scores with a last-ball four by Nitish Kumar. In the super over, Pakistan’s errors, including Mohammad Amir’s wides, allowed the US to set a target of 19. Saurabh Netravalkar’s tight bowling and Kumar’s spectacular catch ensured Pakistan fell short, leading to jubilant celebrations among American players and supporters.

The victory marked the US’s second win in the tournament, following an earlier defeat of Canada. This result boosts their chances of reaching the Super Eights, with upcoming matches against India and Ireland. Pakistan, on the other hand, faces the risk of an early exit and must regroup for their next crucial game against India.
