Pakistan-born cricketer Ali Khan recalled the United States of America's (USA) famous victory over Pakistan during the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in June.

Ali Khan also claimed that the United States of America can beat the Men in Green again if they get a chance to play against the Men in Green in the future.

The USA National Cricket Team made their World Cup debut during the recent tournament as co-hosts with the West Indies.

The home team stunned the Men in Green by recording a victory during their second match in the ICC event. They secured the win over the former champions through a Super Over.

The Monank Patel-led USA team restricted the Men in Green to 159/7 during the match. They scored 159 runs, leading the match to go into the Super Over.

The USA team set a target of 19 runs for the Men in Green to win the game. Babar Azam and his team managed to score just 13 runs in the Super Over.

We Are Capable Enough Of Beating Pakistan Again - Ali Khan

In a recent interview with Pak Passion, Ali Khan expressed confidence in his team's ability to defeat the Men in Green again if given the opportunity. He emphasized that the USA is capable of beating any team on their day, including the Men in Green, if they have a full-strength squad.

"We are capable enough of beating them (the Men in Green) again. No disrespect to them, but I think we are a really good side, if we have a full-strength squad we can beat any team on our day, not just Pakistan but it will be a great game of we play them again," Ali said.
