T20 World Cup: 'We Were In The Game, Just Needed A Partnership', Says USA Captain After Upsetting Pakistan
As the co-host USA staged one of the biggest upsets of the T20 World Cup after beating Pakistan in the Super Over thriller, skipper Monank Patel claimed that the team knew 'they were in the game with 160 to chase' and all needed was a partnership to clinch a victory.
Batting first, Pakistan captain Babar Azam's 44 combined with Shadab Khan's quickfire 40 off 25 balls steered them to 159/7 in 20 overs. In reply, USA captain Monank Patel's half-century along with cameo knocks from Andries Gous (35) and Aaron Jones (36) enabled them to match their opponent's total on the final ball of the innings.
