USA Stuns Pakistan in ICC Men`s T20 World Cup

In a thrilling match at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, the USA pulled off a stunning victory over Pakistan, winning the game in a super over. This win marked the USA's second victory in as many matches, a significant achievement for the team.

Pakistan, after being sent into bat, found themselves in trouble early on, struggling at 26-3 within the first five overs. Despite a late surge from Shaheen Afridi, who scored 23 runs off 16 balls, Pakistan managed to reach only 159 runs. The USA bowlers, particularly Nosthush Kenjige, who took 3 wickets for 30 runs, and Saurabh Netravalkar, who was the most economical bowler, played crucial roles in restricting Pakistan's score.

In response, the USA had a solid partnership between Monank Patel and Andries Gous, which set the foundation for their chase. However, the match went down to the wire, necessitating a super over. In the super over, the USA scored 18/1, while Pakistan managed only 13/1, securing the win for the USA.

Monank Patel, the USA captain, was named the Player of the Match. He praised his team for a complete team effort and credited the bowlers for keeping Pakistan under 160 runs. Babar Azam, Pakistan's captain, acknowledged that his team did not capitalize in the first six overs and lost momentum due to back-to-back wickets.
