It is really great that the minnows of cricket and hosts of the T-20 World Cup, USA, stunned the world by defeating one of the favourite teams, Pakistan, in their pool match on 6th June, 2024.
Firstly they bowled excellently to choke the Pakistan top order batsmen to restrict them to a total of 159. Then they chased the target valiantly to tie the score and take it to the super over. Well, they won the super over by 5 runs to create history. Their victory over Pakistan is a real boost for the game of cricket, which has just taken root in America.
Beware Men in Blue, not only against this American team, but also against Pakistan, who will come after us with all vigour to win their match on Sunday.
