Pakistan faced a stunning defeat at the T20 World Cup 2024 against the United States in a thrilling Super Over clash. The match, held in Grand Prairie, Dallas, saw both teams finishing at 159 runs after their standard 20 overs. In the nail-biting Super Over, USA managed to score 18 runs, with the help of extras due to Pakistan’s poor fielding, while Pakistan could only muster 13 runs in response.
A viral video post-game revealed an interesting scenario where Pakistan’s veteran left-arm pacer Mohammad Amir was seen advising the team’s captain, Babar Azam. However, Babar chose not to follow Amir’s advice, which made a significant impact on the outcome of the game.
Amir suggested sticking with pace bowling, but Babar opted for spin and introduced Shadab Khan. Unfortunately, the decision backfired as Shadab leaked crucial runs, shifting the momentum in USA’s favor.
