At the Men’s T20 Cricket World Cup in Dallas on Thursday, the US cricket team stunned world-class Pakistan with a thrilling Super Over victory. Sloppy for large parts of the game, Pakistan fell apart in the tie-breaker. Mohammad Amir bowled three wides, one of which the co-hosts also pinched two extra runs from.
The US scrambled to 18-1, leaving Pakistan to chase 19 off left-arm seamer Saurabh Netravalkar. When 14 were needed off four balls, Kumar made another crucial intervention, this time holding a magnificent catch at long-off to dismiss Iftikhar Ahmed.
With seven required from the last ball, Shadab Khan could only take a single, sparking joyous celebrations among the American players and supporters
