America made a big upset by winning the Super Over against Pakistan on Thursday. Under the T20 World Cup 2024, a tough competition was seen between the two teams of Group A at the Grand Priory Stadium in Dallas. In this match, after losing the toss and batting first, Pakistan scored 159 runs for seven wickets in 20 overs. In response, the host team also scored 159 runs for three wickets in 20 overs. After this, the match reached the Super Over.
Batting first in the Super Over, America scored 18 runs. In response, the Pakistan team could score only 13 runs in six balls. The Pakistan team had to face defeat in its very first match. After the defeat against a weak team like America in this match, the pain of Pakistan captain Babar Azam spilled over. He said that apart from ball and bat, his team also failed in fielding.
Babar's army proved to be a flop in all three areas
Babar said, "I think we are not playing well from both sides. Fielding, bowling, and batting. Till six overs, I think we did not take advantage of the game properly, but later, after 10 overs we got the rhythm, but then we lost a lot of wickets and then the rhythm was over. I think as a batsman, batting unit, we need to perform better in the middle overs and at the end."
Pakistan will face India on June 9
With this win, the US team has reached the top of Group A with two wins and four points. At the same time, India is in second place with two points after one match. Pakistan's next match is against India on June 9. At the same time, the US team will now face India on June 12. After the match, the Pakistan captain said that often the plans are not executed correctly against smaller teams, which later leads to defeat.
'Rest proved costly'
Babar further said, "Look, whenever you go into any tournament, you always prepare as best you can. You can say it is a kind of mindset. When you go against a team like this (USA), you relax a bit. You take things a bit lightly. Look, if you don't execute your plan against any team, no matter which team it is, it will beat you. So, I believe we are not good at execution. We are doing well in preparation, but in the match, we are not executing our plans as a team."
