USA (159/3) & (18/1) defeat Pakistan (159/7) & (13/1) by 5 runs in a super over thriller to cause the first major upset of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024

[GLORY OF '92]

Instagram cake boys deserve this

 

[FearlessRoar]

USA skipper is schooling Shaheen Shah Afridi lol hats off to him he is facing him first time and playing him like an easy pill

 

[Nikhil_cric]

66 off 48 is pretty decent. I don't see a trouble

Pakistan bowlers actually bowl decently at the death. US had to press the issue in the middle overs. Anyway, let's see.

 

[Kroll]

SSA getting treated like the gully mohalla bowler he is.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Inswinging yorker incoming.

 

[followed]

Fire them all. Not a single good player in this team.

 

[Asif321]

God damm what a six

 

[TeymurBlake]

Newly minnows losing to a supposed minnows.

 

[emranabbas]

Give this same team to sarfaraz , Misbah, Younis they will beat USA at least. Captaincy matters a ton.

100 percent

 

[castortroy]

Afridi, what a washed up bowler

I have been saying for a while now, he is another Hassan Ali in the making.

 

[Ijaz Ahmed07]

We needed Agha Salman here

 

[Sycamore]

Why are USA not hitting the ball where the fielders are placed in outfield??

 

[oatmeal]

If Pakistan loses this today. It will be one of the biggest upsets in Cricket history.

It's t20 cricket. Hardly a huge upset. But I think they will collapse

 

[Kianig89]

Since the 2021 Wt20, Pakistan has not selected the proper squad its a fact

 

[RidiculousMan]

Urmm, cutters? Slower balls???

Brainless bowling

This is not Uganda. He's a proper bat. Pakistan needed a big total. Ain't Nepal batting that you can bully with pace and bounce.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Massive humiliation incoming. Will be on par with Ireland 2007.

 

[JattMaula]

This Patel just tennis forehanded the Eagle!

And a six straight too.

 

[Kianig89]

USA doing it calmly and patiently

 

[NeVerMind]

Boundary than a six against Shaheen...time to come home boys...

 

[Savak]

Shaheen receiving the Rohit Sharma treatment from the USA batsman.

 

[oatmeal]

Sleeper Indian agent tonking Afridi

 

[Kaptan]

My my What a shot!!! Eagle down

 

[FearlessRoar]

Now what Papa Naqvi will say lol

He will come to dallas now

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

We needed Agha Salman here

Sure another hack is just what we need, great idea

 

[Human786]

104/1 in 13

 

[Barragan]

Well, Pak have lost

Poor captaincy and pathetic batting

 

[hafizexpress]

The better team is simply outplaying the other

 

[RidiculousMan]

It's t20 cricket. Hardly a huge upset. But I think they will collapse

They will not collapse. They have shown before that they are an emerging side to be reckon with.

 

[Devadwal]

That is inexperienced after hitting boundries three dot balls

 

[Kianig89]

Azam.Khan Shadab Khan have no business with this team

 

[imshally81]

Upset in progress

 

[Misbahs_tuktuk]

I am a long time lurker, barely ever posted, love this forum and everyone alike. Its gotten so bad that I am commenting

This is the worst I have ever seen Pakistan cricket in my life.
You have unfit players, with the arrogance of not taking this seriously.

why has there been no warm up for Pakistan to get them ready?

Why is Azam khan starting in a major tournament on the back end of 10 odd poor innings. Even if he is a good player ( he isn't) his confidence would be low?

Why is Amir back? he was finished a few years ago but someone makes it into this team coming out of retirement?

Why were the players allowed to go to have a meet and greet rather than either practise, or focus for the upcoming games, getting adequate rest?

Why are 4 pacers being bowled?

How is Babar captain after a few months ago he was deemed not good enough?

How has the nation got to this point where it produces garbage batsmen?

Why are there 7 selectors, this cannot be justified?

Seriously I could go on, Pakistan deserve everything that happens to them this tournament and then some. This isn't down to luck or pressure. The pure arrogance of the PCB and its players with a poor preparation and investment/coaching at grass roots level combined with letting politics play and the captain sticking with his rubbish mates.

The USA deserve the win today, many congrats to them, fearless cricket, not bowling too many wides, nor full tosses.

 

[sindhiboy]

that was a ridiculously good shot

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pakistan bowlers actually bowl decently at the death. US had to press the issue in the middle overs. Anyway, let's see.

Lol let's see

 

[Asad T]

So now we'll have to beat India in order to qualify for the super 8's
Not going to happen and Kirsten is already looking older after being on the job for 2 weeks

 

[RidiculousMan]

The better team is simply outplaying the other

They are more smart of course.

 

[Asif321]

56 in 42 .

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan trying their best to promote cricket in States

 

[Shafi]

So we are unofficially out. This team will loose both Ireland and India for sure. May be Canada as well. Babar will get an extension while Kristen will be sacked.

 

[followed]

Babar Azam the low IQ loser is responsible for this humiliation.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Monank Patel might get an IPL contract if he wins this for USA.

 

[JaDed]

Patel Bhai top 50.. One motel to you if I was as rich as MBS lol

 

[Nikhil_cric]

3 dots after that, brings RRR back to 8.

 

[James]

54 off 7 overs with 9 wickets in hand should be academic, massive disappointment for USA now if they don’t complete the chase.

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

We need some kudrat ki nizam

 

[Kroll]

if we lose to USA, is our level now Papua New Guinea and Oman?

 

[Human786]

out

 

[Champ_Pal]

Come on Haris. Where are the Yorkers...

 

[FearlessRoar]

Haris Rauf you beautyyyy. Game on hai

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Game on!!

Come back on the cards

 

[Shafi]

Kirsten and Babar are noting down all the weak points of USA batsmen. Next time they meet, Pak bowlers will expose these associates for sure.

Kristen is as bad as Micky. He didn't oppose team selection

 

[Sherazkhalid]

everyone is playing for their captaincy, no one care about the country plus there isn't any talent either in the domestic either.

 

[emranabbas]

Babar along with rizwan shadab iftikhar naseem shaheen and azam khan need to go ASAP

 

[chinaman00]

If Pakistan loses this today. It will be one of the biggest upsets in Cricket history.

This is patently false. Pakistan in less than a year lost to Afghanistan and Ireland and so the US beating this sorry bunch isn’t a cricket history.

 

[Croma]

RAUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

 

[RidiculousMan]

Massive humiliation incoming. Will be on par with Ireland 2007.

I think potentially this can be topped off if they can lose against Canada.

 

[Devadwal]

Gone .that is the match for Pakistan.

 

[Kianig89]

Only a miracle can save Pakistan cricket dog day afternoon for us

 

[Champ_Pal]

Haris delivers the wicket.

Pakistan back in the game and roaring

 

[AAli98]

Offer these donkeys $300 & a meal they’ll come like a dog with a bone (this was last night btw)

 

[kingusama92]

RAUF!

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Aaron Jones remember the name

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Need to hit Jones with some chin music

 

[Asif321]

Finally

 

[JaDed]

And my expat brothers were doing so good damn no collapse please
lol

 

[FearlessRoar]

So now we'll have to beat India in order to qualify for the super 8's
Not going to happen and Kirsten is already looking older after being on the job for 2 weeks

I hope PCT's Papa Naqvi is rushing to Dallas now

 

[Misbahs_tuktuk]

Massive humiliation incoming. Will be on par with Ireland 2007.

It would be worse. Ireland actually qualified. Im sure USA are only here because they are host nations.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

And wicket. @FearlessRoar Dekha?

 

[castortroy]

Look at the field to the new batter

 

[Devadwal]

This is pressure minnows team can't handled. They can came close but can't cross the line

 

[JattMaula]

 

[Shafi]

What an addition to the CV it will be for Kirsten. Lost against USA in the World Cup.

Looks like another spineless coach. It was Dhoni who won the cup and Kristen took the credit.

 

[Kaptan]

Collapse incoming???

 

[Champ_Pal]

Lets see what Aaron Jones can do. Can he handle the pace of Rauf?

 

[Rana]

Rauf can still turn this game on its head

 

[NeVerMind]

Kristen is as bad as Micky. He didn't oppose team selection

He's hardly had time...plus what do you do when the selectors pick Chacha Ifti and Azam Khan?

 

[FearlessRoar]

And wicket. @FearlessRoar Dekha?

Yes you were right

 

[oatmeal]

Top two teams make it to the next round. It's basically a formality even if there is an upset or two

Welcome, posting PP is the best therapy to vent haha

 

[Kianig89]

Take your chances SA, one over of Ifti/Shadab left Viva la Rasa
