In an upset at the Grand Prairie Stadium, the USA beat Pakistan in a super-over thriller. The home team dazzled with their bowling prowess, led by Nosthush Kenjige's stellar three-fer while the chase was anchored by Monank Patel's sublime half-century off just 34 deliveries leading to a super over.
The United States openers Monank Patel and Steven Taylor got off to a cracking start, taking the score to 36/0 in five overs. However, Taylor’s stay was cut short as Naseem Shah dismissed him in the sixth over. Monank, alongside Andries Gous, then built a steady 40-run partnership, bringing the score to 76/1 in 10 overs. The duo gradually paved the way for a potential upset against Pakistan, with Monank scoring a splendid 34-ball fifty. The 68-run stand between Monank and Gous was broken by Haris Rauf in the 14th over when Gous was bowled by a well-directed good-length ball. With 49 runs needed from the last six overs, all eyes were on the USA skipper Monank and Aaron Jones to finish the job. However, in a much-needed breakthrough for Pakistan, Mohammad Amir dismissed Monank, shifting the momentum towards the visitors. The equation boiled down to 28 runs off the last three overs, with Jones and Nitish Kumar at the crease. The duo kept their composure, narrowing the requirement to 15 runs off the final over. In a thrilling finish, a packed Dallas crowd was on the edge of their seats as Jones and Kumar scored 14 runs off the last over, tying the match and leading to a super over.
Babar Azam entrusted the crucial super over to Mohammad Amir, but the USA's Aaron Jones and Harmeet Singh capitalized on Amir’s lacklustre bowling and Pakistan's sloppy fielding, racking up 18/1. In response, Pakistan faced a tough challenge with Iftikhar’s dismissal. Furthermore, Netravalkar bowled a brilliant last over, limiting Pakistan to 13/1. The USA emerged victorious in the super-over, clinching the contest in a thrilling finish.
What a bowling!
