USA's stunning win over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024 was one of the biggest shocks ever in the game of cricket. While the USA was better than Pakistan in all the departments, USA fast bowler Ali Khan claimed that they outclassed Pakistan in fitness as well.

In the 11th match of the T20 World Cup 2024 played in Dallas, USA, the game of cricket witnessed one of its biggest shocking results when T20 World Cup debutants USA defeated a highly experienced and former T20 World Cup winner Pakistan.

After batting first, Pakistan scored 159-7 and looked like their bowlers would defend the target comfortably. But USA batters showed tremendous resilience to deny the Men in Green.

Riding on the half-century from Monank Patel and valuable contributions from Andries Gous, Aaron Jones, and Nitish Kumar, USA took the game to the Super Over.

In the Super Over bowled by seasoned Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir, USA scored 18-1. In reply, USA's star quick Saurabh Netravalkar defended the runs and led his team to a memorable win.

Ali Khan claims that the USA outclassed Pakistan in fitness in the T20 World Cup 2024

Despite the match going into the Super Over, USA's batters were in far more control than Pakistan's batters. Ali Khan, who played that game for the USA and picked up 1-30 in 4 overs, spoke to Pak Passion regarding that match.

Khan claimed that the USA were in no sort of pressure and all the pressure was on Pakistan given they were the huge favorites to win. He stated that the USA went into the game with high belief which helped them create history.

"Yeah definitely, we were not under pressure. If at all anybody was under pressure, it was them. We just took it as another game and we knew that we are capable of beating this team. We went into that game with that belief and confidence and that's what we did," Ali Khan said.

The right-arm fast bowler further noted that the USA outclassed Pakistan in not just batting, bowling, and fielding but in terms of fitness as well.

"I think we outplayed them in all three departments. Not all three, but even four, I would say fitness as well," Ali Khan added.

USA beat Pakistan in Super Over

Pakistan were way below par in that game as they struggled to get going both in batting and bowling against a much lower-ranked USA.

Other than Shadab Khan who scored 40 off 25 balls, none of their batters could get going. Skipper Babar Azam scored 44 off 43 balls which certainly did not help the team's cause.

In the second innings of the match as well, USA were firmly placed at 104-1 at one stage.

Although Pakistan used all the experience to claw back into the game, they could not save the match in the Super Over. Pakistan panicked in the Super Over and gave away 7 wides, which proved to be the difference in the end.
