New Delhi. Pakistani cricket fans must be used to it by now. After all, this is not the first time their team has suffered an upset in the World Cup. The history of the T20 World Cup begins with Pakistan's defeat. India defeated Pakistan in the very first match of the first T20 World Championship played in 2007. That match was also tied first and then India won it. Now Pakistan has lost again in its very first match of the T20 World Cup 2024. The US first tied the match and then won in the Super Over. Let's know how the US turned the tables in the Super Over.
A match was played between Pakistan and America in Dallas on Thursday night. Batting first, Pakistan scored 159/7. In reply, America's innings also ended at 159 runs for 3 wickets. After the match was tied, a super over was played. Pakistan gave the ball to Mohammad Aamir in the super over. The same Aamir who was once banned due to spot fixing. Call it a coincidence or misfortune, but Aamir proved to be a villain for Pakistan this time too. America batted first in the super over. Aaron Jones and Harmeet Singh took charge from their side.
