A big win for USA who will be mighty proud of their effort. Not just is the Super Over but that USA had an upper hand for the most part of this contest. The co-hosts are making a serious statement now, with two wins from two matches and now, they will aim at continuing this momentum. Monank Patel, Nitish Kumar, Saurabh Netravalkar and the others can be mighty proud of this effort. On the other hand, it is a horrible start for Pakistan and Babar Azam and his men have a mountain to climb when they go up against India. A big and unexpected loss to kickstart their ICC T20 World Cup 2024 campaign is a massive setback, but Pakistan has been in this position before (losing to Zimbabwe in the 2022 T20 WC). Group A just has become really interesting with USA reclaiming the top spot!Â
