United States script history by defeating Pakistan
Meanwhile, Pakistan made a dismal beginning in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The men-in-green lost to United States in the super over in a nerve-wracking clash.
Batting first, Pakistan failed to put up a powerful total against the United States. Opener Babar Azam slammed 44 while Mohammad Rizwan got out for 9 runs. Later, the former 2022 T20 WC finalists also lost Usman Khan and Fakhar Azam by single digits.
Later, Shadab Khan shattered 40 runs off 25 and Iftikhar Ahmed shattered 18 off 14 to revive the team's batting. Pakistan reached 159-7 in 20 overs with US bowlers Nosthush Kenjige (3) and Saurabh Netravalkar (2) showing teamwork.
Later, US captain and skipper Monank Patel slammed 50 while Andries Gous (35) and Aaron Jones (36) played crucial knocks during the chase. However, they could only level the scores till the final ball with Nitish Kumar smacking a boundary.
Although the US failed to chase down the target at first, they clinched victory in the super over with a 19-run target for the Pakistan team. Notably, it was the first-ever T20I game between both sides in international cricket.
Pakistan will now face India in their next game of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. After facing a duck in the opening game, Azam Khan would aim for a strong comeback in the next match.
