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

[Human786]

6 overs - 30/3

 

[jnaveen1980]

USA has a lot of halwa bowler after PP. Pak will get to 160 easily

 

[MHN1293]

From here

pakistan will do well to get to 170

That’s probably not going to cut it here

Brother pray we somehow get to 150

 

[Rana]

What a powerful batting by Babar in the powerplay

4 off 14

 

[followed]

Lol babar 4 off 14 balls that too in powerplay what's wrong with him.

 

[TeymurBlake]

30-3 in the power play with 22 dot balls.

SHAMEFUL.

 

[Shafi]

Disappointed with Kristen!!! Expected handling the team and playing 11 and deal with Babar harshly. But seems like another Micky 2.0 stays there do nothing

 

[shortbread]

Lol..... Babar struggling against an IT worker in the US.!

 

[Energy]

If you never saw a game of cricket before - you'd think Pakistan are the plucky minnows playing for further opportunities at this level trying to put up a respectable show against the mighty USA.

We will have to accept this as fact now, unfortunately. It's becoming a sad reality.

 

[Croma]

6:30-3. I expected USA to be in this situation, not Pakistan

 

[Rana]

Brother pray we somehow get to 150

Yeah that’s not going to be enough I’m afraid

 

[BouncerGuy]

Babar cannot find gaps atm. Playing straight to hands of fielders.

 

[castortroy]

This new attacking approach by pak batters has not worked whatsoever since England

 

[NeVerMind]

What a powerful batting by Babar in the powerplay

4 off 14

He still hasn't overtaken his fellow opener's score and he has played the whole of the power play!

 

[shortbread]

Brother pray we somehow get to 150

You think US will score three figures?!

 

[jnaveen1980]

What a powerful batting by Babar in the powerplay

4 off 14

It looks worse when you day 4 runs I. 6 overs

 

[Rana]

Shadab’s gonna hole out any point

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Ali Khan is the fittest Pakistani bowler in International cricket currently!

wrong azam khan

 

[ssuhaide]

ZIMBABAR 2 off 10 pressured Fakhar to play that stupid shot and lose his wicket.
pakistan under :friends of zimbabar" looking like minnows

Really enjoying the American performance a team playing without fear can't say much for their opponents who are scared.

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Now that the match has got a bit boring , an hour be4 the start Wasim said PAK has the best pace bowling attack & great spinners - makes me wonder if our man is still smoking some potent green stuff or I fail to see the obvious , specifically about the great spinners bit ! What say @Rana @Mamoon @The Bald Eagle @BouncerGuy

Never take Wasim seriously

 

[mominsaigol]

Shadab’s gonna hole out any point

Babar: We were 10 runs short

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ireland vs pakistan will be interesting

 

[Rana]

Beautiful bowling by Harmeet

 

[Inswinging Yorker]

Seriously babar is worst T20 player in the world.

dont worry he thrives against minnows

 

[castortroy]

Problem with having those 4 pace bowlers is that the batting line up looks so brittle

 

[Mohraheem]

Players were suppose to practice but Chacha took them to cow boy show!

 

[FearlessRoar]

Waqar Younis said during commentary:

"The USA has done its homework, choosing two left-arm spinners, one left-arm seamer, and the pace bowler Ali Khan."

 

[Croma]

7: 35-3... Need to up the run rate from here.

 

[Vikram1989]

Shadab must be thinking USA spinners are bowling much better than him

 

[kingusama92]

Wasim defending Babar not realizing he's the reason so much pressure was put on the others in the PP.

 

[JattMaula]

Harmeet has changed his absolutely beautiful action. It's round arm trash now. Still effective though.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Lowest powerplay totals for Pakistan in T20 WCs

13 vs WI, Mirpur, 2014
28 vs ZIM, Perth, 2022
29 vs NAM, Abu Dhabi, 2021
30 vs NZ, Sharjah, 2021
30 vs USA, Dallas, 2024*

 

[Human786]

question of time before these 2 & coming 2 rip apart USA ....

 

[DeadlyVenom]

“That shot from Zaman was never on”- Waqar Younis

Mate he hit Archer for sixes with that shot. Where do these clowns suddenly rock up from?

He's right. It wasn't on at all. Complete suicide from Fakhar.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

India will massacre these jokers again.

 

[Energy]

Waqar Younis said during commentary:

"The USA has done its homework, choosing two left-arm spinners, one left-arm seamer, and the pace bowler Ali Khan."

Shows you the power of having a brain.

 

[Kroll]

This team needs a reset asap. Kick all these frauds out.

 

[castortroy]

Wasim akram definitely the worst commentator going around

 

[Vikram1989]

Harmeet has changed his absolutely beautiful action. It's round arm trash now. Still effective though.

Is he the 2012 under 19 wc bowler who got caught in ipl match fixing?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Wasim defending Babar not realizing he's the reason so much pressure was put on the others in the PP.

In hindsight , Canada batted really well against this attack

 

[FearlessRoar]

Pakistan has scored 35 runs with the loss of 3 wickets in 7 overs.

 

[Shafi]

Will Babar get sacked if loose to US, Canada, Ireland and India? Naqvi will still defend Babar.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Be patient guys . Just like y day Babar Azan will become Marcus Azam soon

 

[Kroll]

India will massacre these jokers again.

Early bakra eid for India.

 

[castortroy]

This babar innings has to be his worse ever

 

[Human786]

40/3 in 8

 

[akbarc1]

Waqar Younis said during commentary:

"The USA has done its homework, choosing two left-arm spinners, one left-arm seamer, and the pace bowler Ali Khan."

Although he completely messed up Ali Khan's surname...

 

[RidiculousMan]

4D Chess by Pakistan. Getting yourself in tough situation so you can practice for the NYC game

 

[Rana]

proper bowling this by USA

 

[pratiktc]

“That shot from Zaman was never on”- Waqar Younis

Mate he hit Archer for sixes with that shot. Where do these clowns suddenly rock up from?

Man, Fakhar was foolish. Ali Khan doesnt have the pace for him to use. It was a low percentage shot for the situation and the bowler.

More so, USA have 2 left arm spinners in their team. Literally Fakhar couldve crushed them for 70+ in their quota on this wkt. All he had to do was wait for his matchup

 

[Mohraheem]

This team needs a reset asap. Kick all these frauds out.

I have mentioned many times, kick out Chacha and we will next 100 World Cup in India

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This is even slower for ODI game. Too little too late Babar, how long we will put up with these clowns.

 

[castortroy]

Babar will give in here now.

He is either out next over or will get some boundaries

 

[NeVerMind]

This babar innings has to be his worse ever

It's like he has been possessed by Ahmed Shezad...every ball being hit to a fielder

 

[Rana]

This team needs a reset asap. Kick all these frauds out.

The fans of the frauds will argue 2 should stay and everyone else kicked out

 

[MHN1293]

babar is my name, hitting shots straight to fielders is my game

 

[Shafi]

Babar deserves humiliation but there is no one in PCB dare to touch him.

 

[aboveandbeyond]

This is embarrassing. The hype around these Pakistani players is surely bewildering.

Nothing more than a bunch of bottle jobs.

 

[Amjid Javed]

USA win here wouldn't even be a shock

 

[jnaveen1980]

Canada batted much better against USA. That 35 year old was belligerent

 

[castortroy]

Awful pitch

 

[Mockingbird]

Lol..... Babar struggling against an IT worker in the US.!

Boss, that IT worker is a Cornell grad working in Oracle. Amazing trajectory this!

 

[Sherazkhalid]

SR of 33, man this is a new low for stat padder, he cannot even stat pad when needed.

 

[Rana]

This is beautiful bowling

Credit to the U.S

 

[castortroy]

Pitch has no pace whatsoever

 

[JattMaula]

Is he the 2012 under 19 wc bowler who got caught in ipl match fixing?

He was cleared of any wrongdoing in 2013 but Mumbai Ranji team had no place for him so hopped on a boat.

 

[followed]

Rameez said babar and rizwan are the best T20 openers in the world. Hahahahahhahah

Joke of the century.

9 off 23 by babar against mighty USA.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

USA win here wouldn't even be a shock

I been saying since they beat BD that another Zimbabwe is loading for us.

 

[Croma]

9: 46-3. Come on Guys. Its time to accelerate. These 6 run overs are not helping

 

[Nikhil_cric]

US field placements not attacking enough. Allowing singles and twos especially on legside.

 

[Asad T]

I have mentioned many times, kick out Chacha and we will next 100 World Cup in India

chacha wil save us today

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Zimbabar was a generous nickname

 

[Shafi]

India will win by at least 100+ runs or chase our total by 10 overs for sure.

 

[NeVerMind]

Not a single boundary by Babar

 

[kingusama92]

Good hit from Shadab

 

[Amjid Javed]

I been saying since they beat BD that another Zimbabwe is loading for us.

This would be most humiliating defeat in pakistans entire cricket history

 

[Ali T]

chacha wil save us today

To be fair, Shahab has done a pretty decent job so far.

 

[MANU ROY]

Shadab doing well

 

[Energy]

Thank you Shadab. Good stuff lad.

 

[Croma]

SHadab on FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!1
