America’s victory is the first upset of this World Cup. The way America played in the Superover won the hearts of fans all over the world. Pakistan’s fielding was also poor in the Superover and the team gave away a lot of runs through over-throws or wides.
In the 11th match of T20 World Cup 2024, America created a big upset by defeating Pakistan in the super over. So far in this World Cup, only two super overs have been played in 11 matches. Before this match, there was a super over match between Namibia and Oman, which was won by the Namibian team.
This is the biggest upset of the T20 World Cup 2024. However, Pakistan has also become a victim of upsets in the 2007 ODI World Cup. Then he was defeated by Ireland.

Yuvraj tweeted on X (formerly known as Twitter) to question Pakistan’s strategy of not sending batsman Fakhar Zaman to the strike during the Super Over.
“I don’t understand why dint @FakharZamanLive take strike to a lefty seamer – when it is easier for a left hander to hit through the angle that bowler is tryin to create,” wrote Yuvraj on X.
