The United States continued their impressive run in the T20 World Cup on Thursday with an unlikely upset victory over Pakistan. This came after their dominant win over Canada on Saturday and another strong performance in the following match. The result was decided in the Super Over with the US emerging victorious by five runs after the 40 overs of play.
With this win, the United States now holds sole possession of first place in Group A with four points and a 2-0 record. Pakistan dropped to No. 3 in the group standings following their defeat in the match.
Aaron Jones, who had a strong performance against Canada, played a key role in this victory as well with a great individual game. He hit two sixes, with one of them taking the match into the Super Over. USA captain Monank Patel expressed his pride in the team and credited their ability to play well under pressure.
Patel highlighted the importance of their strong start in setting the foundation for the eventual win. Winning the toss and taking wickets early on proved crucial in keeping Pakistan from gaining momentum. Looking ahead, the US team has a good chance to advance to the Super 8 round if they continue their strong performance.
Their next match will be against India on June 12, and Patel and the rest of the team are focused on maintaining their momentum and securing another important victory.
