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

[Nado_]

Pakistan cricket team is a joke . The continuous selection of an unfit non performer is just baffling, I can’t recall any innings of substance from Azam Khan against a non minnow team. The rehiring of Babar Azam as captain, bringing back the spot fixer Amir when Mohammed Ali outperformed him, the list goes on

 

[Rana]

USA bottling this

This Kumar guy is doing nothing

 

[FearlessRoar]

Haris is quick and if it will middle the bat, it will definitely go for six. Babar what you have done

 

[Devadwal]

What the hell they are doing ? They have Cory anderson to come still not trying

 

[FearlessRoar]

No out, missing the stumps

 

[castortroy]

Pak with another classic review

 

[IMMY69]

another clueless review

 

[angrypathan]

Outside leg surely

 

[jnaveen1980]

How did he think it was out lol

 

[Nikhil_cric]

19 required off 10.

 

[Asif321]

Amir experience matters

 

[TeymurBlake]

Why review when it is obvious its not out.

 

[Kianig89]

Hoping against hope as they are no hoppers

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Aamir was just wasting time to break batters' focus. Tactical review.

 

[UzmanBeast]

Why review when it is obvious its not out.

If it's to take more time and think then I reckon it's fine.

I just hope there was some thinking about how to go about the over.

 

[angrypathan]

hope that wasted review doesn’t cost them

 

[castortroy]

Scoop shot coming

 

[Energy]

Good that wasn't out. Anderson would have finished the match. With these 2 Pakistan have a chance.

 

[Kianig89]

What a classic game so far

 

[Sherazkhalid]

They don't even know how to take reviews, just go crazy at minor things

 

[Devadwal]

Idiot is blocking

 

[Nikhil_cric]

19 off 9.

 

[JaDed]

What a bad display of batting this inexperience showed up.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bowling is once against bailing Pakistan out.

 

[TeymurBlake]

Good over so far from Amir.

I genuinely hope I didn't jinx it.

 

[Kianig89]

Shaba shaba boys shaba :kami

 

[Nikhil_cric]

18 off 8.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pressure pressure

 

[emranabbas]

Amir saving us here

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Lol relax guys we are gonna win.

Great start to the World Cup

 

[neonoir]

Even if this does go to the last over we all know Rauf will give it all away, he is incompetent at defending a total

 

[Speedster1]

Aamir was just wasting time to break batters' focus. Tactical review.

What I was thinking

 

[Ali T]

Meets and greet
Photoshoots
Visiting houses
Cake cutting and biryani
Cricket

This is pakistan cricket

If Pakistan win - a big if!
What are the chances there will be a cake cutting ceremony to commemorate a tight victory ?

 

[JaDed]

Amir ruined it came back from retirement to deny USA a win

 

[imshally81]

Great bowling

 

[Asif321]

Amir saving Babar from humiliation

 

[Kianig89]

Very tense now

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Beautiful execution...great skills.

 

[JattMaula]

Aamir and Rauf won this match for Pakistan with their defensive skills.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

18 off 7, lol. US started losing the moment @JaDed said he'd support them against India.

 

[jnaveen1980]

AMerican journey man suddenly in a winning situation. So much scrambled thinking.

 

[emranabbas]

If Pakistan win - a big if!
What are the chances there will be a cake cutting ceremony to commemorate a tight victory ?

percent

 

[Devadwal]

Nitish kumar lost the game for USA .

 

[FearlessRoar]

Iftimania was too slow

 

[JaDed]

18 off 7, lol. US started losing the moment @JaDed said he'd support them against India.

, man i know sucks

 

[Speedster1]

Hope Raud doesn’t mess things up. Amir has set this up now

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Chacha broke a few bones chasing that down

 

[RidiculousMan]

Death bowling masterclass by Amir today

 

[imshally81]

Good over by Amir

 

[castortroy]

Bowling is once against bailing Pakistan out.

No it hasnt

Bowling has been average

 

[angrypathan]

I didn’t really want him back in the team, but man Amir is so good to watch when he’s on song

 

[JaDed]

Nitish kumar lost the game for USA .

Yup , bad call whoever made it to send him

 

[Ali T]

What I was thinking

The guy is very street smart.
Might not be getting the swing and seam movement that he once had, but he knows how to bowl according to conditions / environment.

 

[RidiculousMan]

Hope Raud doesn’t mess things up. Amir has set this up now

All depends if he trusts his yorkers. He has one of the best yorkers going around in the world. Problem is if he doesn't trust that he goes for his slower balls which can be risky.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Aaron Jones can use the pace, Rauf need to try slower balls at full length

 

[castortroy]

The bowling very rarely bails pak put of games anymore

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Oh come on, what a bad fielding.

 

[Kroll]

Wow, we might actually beat the mighty US when all looked lost.

 

[hamzie]

we needed amir
haris will still throw this away

 

[Nikhil_cric]

15 off the last over. US never brought the equation down in time. Now 15 against Rauf, lol.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Jones is dangerous

 

[emranabbas]

All these experts who wanted babar captain and rizbar to open and Amir out of the team
Have been quiet

 

[Asif321]

15 to defend

 

[Asad T]

chacha still moving like a kid

 

[Markhor]

Obviously didn't want us to be in such a tight situation, but you gotta say the World Cup has really come to life tonight.

Been a few thrillers already in this tournament.

 

[Kianig89]

Amir proved his woth

 

[FearlessRoar]

In last 3 overs Pakistan delivered 35% Yorkers

 

[t_kaay]

Super over anyone?

 

[jnaveen1980]

No it hasnt

Bowling has been average

But it is more a btting wicket right.

 

[JattMaula]

Perfect Yorker.

 

[Sunzi]

Dropped.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Also, when the ball reverses, PAK bowlers simply can control the ball better .

 

[ads101]

Can’t believe Corey Anderson hasn’t batted. He is a seasoned international player, he’s not going to choke like the rest of these guys. If USA loses, that might be the reason.

 

[RidiculousMan]

USA missed a trick by not sending Corey Anderson earlier. All that leagues experience

 

[jnaveen1980]

VIrat kohli did at the MCG early season pitch . Still can't believe he did that

 

[amvbfm]

Major mistake by US not sending Anderson. Nitish has been clueless.

 

[Asad T]

lets see if Jones can do a Virat

 

[Nikhil_cric]

12 off 3.

 

[Kianig89]

Chance bluffed

 

[angrypathan]

Tactical drop to keep Corey Anderson in the dug out
