Pitch Report

It was raining overnight, and in the morning as well. But, the pitch has dried up as it's boiling hot at the moment and any moisture would've disappeared. Teams winning the toss will certainly opt to bowl first given the nature of the wicket so far in the World Cup.

Commentary

New heroes have been unearthed. New starts rise from nothing. This USA side have done themselves proud and could go on to do something unimaginable. It's not a dream, cricket fans in the US. Pinch yourselves and accept the reality, your side is currently topping the group which consists of giants of the game like India and Pakistan. The USA team is now in pole position to qualify for the super eights and script their name in the folklore of USA cricket. Well, that's all from us in this contest. But, there's another close game going on between Namibia and Scotland, do switch tabs for that. This is Pratyush, signing off on behalf of my partner, Pradeep. We hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you. Goodnight!

Monank Patel (USA captain): Winning the toss, the way we bowled in the first six overs, we kept them quiet and took wickets in the powerplay. We continued the same intensity throughout, knew they'll take chances against us. Shadab and Babar batted well, I felt 160 on this track was gettable. We knew the partnerships, me and Gous did that at the start and batted till the 12th over. Playing in the World Cup, you don't know get chance all the time and playing against Pakistan, we needed to be full committed every single. It was a team effort!

Babar Azam (Pakistan captain): First six overs, we couldn't capitalise. After that we picked up momentum, but lost wickets in flurry which was a set back and also couldn't put up partnerships at crucial junctures. We weren't up to the mark in the first six overs with the ball. We tried to come back, but we couldn't' finish. We will try in the next matches. All credit to USA team, they played well in all three departments. Little moisture was there on the pitch at the start, the ball wasn't coming on that easily and our batters couldn't asses the conditions as well.

Monank Patel is the Player of the Match! Here's what he has to say: It's a big achievement, beating Pakistan and playing for the first time. It was complete team effort from ball, we bowled well in the first innings and utilized the conditions, credit to the bowlers who kept them to 160. Happy for the contribution, more happy because we've won the game. The plan was to have a big partnership. Me and Gous did that, took the game deep. The plan was to play proper cricketing shots, Gous took the pressure off me and allowed me to play my game. Happy to take the two points. As a batter, you want to show up on big occasion, plan was to score in a winning cause.

USA win the super over!

Monank Patel - 50 (38) | Nosthush Kenjige - 3/10
Babar Azam - 44 (43) | Mohammad Amir - 25/1

The city of Dallas would have been eagerly anticipating their NBA Finals encounter against the Boston Celtics that takes place later today. However, the few who made their way out to the stadium will never forget this day as their country scripts history in their first ever T20 World Cup. This lot dared to dream and they even went a step further, managing to achieve it.

They started off in this run chase like they meant business with their captain leading from the front. Monank Patel's half-century set the tone for the side with Gous showing his experience and carrying the run chase forward. However, Pakistan managed to roar back into the contest and made a game of it, turning the tide in the most typical way possible.

The likes of Shaheen, Haris, Amir and Naseem would fancy defending the kind of target their team set for USA, but the hosts had other plans. It was erratic, inconsistent and simply not up to the mark from the Men in Green, who were well short in all aspects of the game. And in the end they, paid the price for it.

The hero of the last game, Aaron Jones hung around alongside Nitish Kumar to make sure the USA hit a boundary of the final ball to force a super over. That was a lifeline of sorts for Pakistan but they failed to make it count and continued to be erratic.

Cricket might gives you a chance sometimes, but it'll rarely give you two chances. Pakistan learned that the hard way today and fell well short, almost gifting the game to USA. Let that take nothing away from Monank Patel and his men though. With two wins in two games, they've done themselves and their nation proud. Their dream of making it to the super eight seems like it could very well be a reality. There's plenty to unravel in this contest, so stick around for the post match presentation.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAVE DONE THE UNTHINKABLE! They've clinched a super over win against Pakistan and have won their opening two games of the tournament. Phew. What a game. Handshakes all around as the hosts go marching on and pull off the first major upset of the tournament.

0.6 Saurabh Netravalkar to Shadab Khan, IT'S ALL OVER! USA STUN PAKISTAN IN A NAIL-BITER! United States of America create history here in Dallas as they shock Pakistan! Netravalkar holds on to his nerve as USA create history here, look at the celebration. Length delivery, wide off-stump. Shadab had to reach and carves it to deep covers, all they get is just one.

Right then. Netravalkar needs to make sure he doesn't overstep or bowls a wide. However, if Shadab clears the ropes, we'll have another super over. Surely not?

0.5 Saurabh Netravalkar to Shadab Khan, low full toss on the off-stump. Shadab goes low, gets underneath that to slam it away, but mistimes it straight down the ground for just a couple.

It's still game on. 9 off 2 now. Can Shadab find the boundary again?

0.4 Saurabh Netravalkar to Shadab Khan, FOUR! Much needed boundary for Pakistan, just in the nick of time. Full on the fourth stump Shadab walks across to sweep but gets an inside edge and beats the diving keeper for a boundary at third-man.

0.4 Saurabh Netravalkar to Shadab Khan, WIDE! Looking to keep that one well outside the off-stump, but angled it outside the tramline. That has been signaled a wide.

Shadab Khan, RHB, comes to the crease

Nitish Kumar, that is sensational. He couldn't quite get the job done with bat in hand but he made sure he left nothing to chance on that occasion. The third umpire is checking if this is a clean catch though. Did he have his fingers underneath the ball? One angle might suggest he didn't, so it will be difficult for the third umpire to make a call without conclusive evidence. The big screen displays "OUT" and it's greeted with roars from around the ground. USA are on the brink of history!

0.3 Saurabh Netravalkar to Iftikhar Ahmed, OUT! BLINDER AT LONG-OFF! Terrific catch that from Milind Kumar, comes diving forward as it was dipping and he clings on to it. Low full toss outside the off-stump, Iftikhar gets underneath that, but doesn't have enough power.

Umpire take this upstairs to confirm if it was a clean catch. Nitish surely had his hands underneath that and the umpire signals it as OUT on the big screen. Huge blow for Pakistan!

Iftikhar Ahmed c Nitish Kumar b Saurabh Netravalkar 4 (3b, 1x4, 0x6)

0.3 Saurabh Netravalkar to Iftikhar Ahmed, WIDE! Now it has been called a wide. Iftikhar moves across, but Netravalkar sprays it way outside the off-stump.

0.2 Saurabh Netravalkar to Iftikhar Ahmed, FOUR! SHOT! Much needed strike from Iftikhar. Back of a length on the off-stump, cutter into the pitch. Iftikhar picks it up and hammered it past mid-wicket, goes one bounce into the ropes.

Iftikhar is livid. To be fair, he moved across a fair way across his stumps.

0.1 Saurabh Netravalkar to Iftikhar Ahmed, length delivery, angled it outside the tramline but Iftikhar shuffles long way across off-stump to hoick, and misses. It's a dot ball! Iftikhar is not happy with the decision!
