U.S.A. vs Pakistan, 11th Match, Group A at Dallas, T20 World Cup, Jun 06 2024 - Match Result

USA win by five runs! The first upset of the 2024 T20 World Cup. The USA players make their presence feel by yelling their feelings out. Their dugout is up in celebration and ecstacy, even as the Pakistan dressing room is left wondering what would have been. Netravalkar, the man assigned the job, finished it off with a full ball which angled away and finished in the channel outside off. Shadab could only drag it as far as deep point

Ahh, well bowled! This is a nice yorker angling across towards middle and off, and Shadab is able to loft it only as far as between long-off and long-on. They pinch two

Ohh, lucky four for Pakistan! Shadab got across the stumps to try and sweep this, but the ball dribbled off his toes between the keeper and short third

And it is another wide. This is angled across, and lands on a yorker length wide of off. Shadab lets it go

Wow, superb catch! Sub fielder Milind Kumar takes a great catch! Placed at long-off, he took a few steps forward before going low and grabbing it barely above the ground. The final verdict will be given by the third umpire, though. He sees multiple replays, with the ball almost hinting to drop off his hands on impact. Now the TV umpire looks at it from a different angle. The ball is dipping and dying on to Nitish, who uses both his hands to try and catch that. And after much ado, it is given out!

This is a wide! This time Ifthikar doesn't move much, and sees this yorker-length ball wide of off go past him. He leaves it alone, and it is given wide

thumped between long-on and deep midwicket! Netravalkar bowled on a length on middle and off, but Iftikhar waited before pulling hard in the gap for four

Iftikhar gets across, and the bowler follows. Netravalkar goes fullish and angles it across, with the ball finishing wide of off. But Iftikhar was far too across as he attempted to loft, but missed. So wide not called

Amir looks for the yorker. It's at the stumps and is clipped through square leg. Jones returns for the second, which is never on, and fails to make it. But he had to of course

5head leave from Jones. Buzzers too, USA are doing this with unforced errors. Jones cleared the front leg but saw the fullish ball, going away with the angle, to be outside the tramline and let it pass. The batters ran as Rizwan lobbed it high up, too far for Amir to collect but no one backing up either. They steal two byes!

Into the pitch, wide too. Jones connects with the cut. Sweeper runs to the right, Amir yells as they return for the second on the throw (which was to the keeper's end)

Amir misses, Harmeet misses. Everyone's disappointed but this is in USA's favour. Low full toss swung down leg, went past the attempted flick. Another bye stolen

Jones goes across to try and get inside the line. Gets a low full toss at the stumps, flicks it to deep square leg. Just a single

Amir misses his line (and length) and concedes a wide plus bye. Could have been worse but Harmeet missed the flick on the low full toss going down leg. Rizwan can't collect cleanly, they run one

Pakistan, like they did at the death, go with the yorker plan. This is nailed. Pace-on again. Jones can't do nothin with that. Jams it a foot or two in front but that allows a scampered s

Nails the on-pace yorker but Jones manages to skilfully drill the flick through midwicket. They scamper back for two as well

Amir starts with the wide one but Jones is able to reach it. It was slow and into the pitch, slashed wide of third for four. Big advantage for USA!

this goes into a Super Over! Lofted over mid-off like a hero, and the game is tied! This will be the second Super Over of the tournament already, as USA keep their hopes of an upset alive. This was lofted beautifully under pressure, with Nitish making room and standing outside leg. Rauf went for a yorker, but it ended up as a low full toss. He chipped it nicely over mid-off, leaving Babar with a sour face

ohh, this is another yorker on the stumps, which is squeezed back to long-on

hoicked over wide long-on! Jones keeps USA's hopes alive with a timely six! Rauf angled this in, and ended up bowling a full toss which landed on leg. Whack it went for six!

slower ball, and a dipping low full toss on off. Sliced to deep point

dropped by Afridi! He was at mid-off, and tumbled to his right to try and catch it. Rauf bowled quite full on off, as Jones lofted down through the line

bowls a yorker on middle and leg, and Nitish swings towards midwicket off the inside half of the bat

great bowling, and great fielding! Iftikhar, the man at long-on, runs and rushes to his left to pull the ball back last moment to keep it to three - or so it seems. Yup, it is confirmed as three. Amir launched another yorker on off, but this time Nitish managed to drill it back down the ground. It was timed well, only for Iftikhar to interfere and stop a run

shapes to scoop, but Amir bowls on a length, and wide of off while angling it across. Nitish is beaten eventually, and it is another dot ball for USA

another very full ball on the stumps, and jammed to long-on

ahh, superb bowling! He angles this across, and lands a yorker on middle. Squeezed back to the bowler

loud and confident appeal for lbw, but not given. That seemed to have struck outside leg, though. But Babar reviews! Amir fired a dipping yorker, and indeed the first replay confirms that Nitish was struck outside leg, as he looked to whip this after opening his stance up. But he was beaten on the inside edge. There's no bat involved, with the ball trickling way off his pads towards the off side

bowls on a fullish length, and at a change of pace on a wide line outside off. Flung away towards long-on with his bottom hand off

ahh, he gets across early, and Afridi bowls a low full toss on middle and off. Jones looks to scoop, but gets it off the toe end of the bat

low full toss angling into middle and off, and chipped towards deep point

another dot ball for Nitish! This is angled in at a near yorker length, and lands just outside off. It moves away after pitching and landing on the seam, as Nitish looked to loft but missed

ahh, a run-out chance at the striker's end! And the square-leg umpire asks his TV colleague to check. Afridi and Pakistan don't look all that bothered, though. And replays show Nitish is well in, before Afridi hits the stumps at the striker's end. He bowled a yorker on leg, as Jones jammed it down, and the two batters took off

flung away over extra cover! Jones hit that almost as if he expected that low full toss - or rather that missed yorker. He is deep in the crease, and has his front leg out of the way, as he lofts that over the in-field

superb ball! Fires in a yorker while angling it in, and bowls around sixth stump. Jones looked to slash, but missed

good over for Pakistan! Only six off this one. Naseem bowled another near-yorker on the stumps, as Jones swung to deep midwicket off the inside half of the bat

yorker on leg, but Nitish is standing deep in the crease, and with his front leg out of the way. Driven to long-on
