Due to which the match reached the Super Over and here the USA team won the match by 5 runs and got their second win in the tournament. It will not be easy for the Pakistani team to digest this defeat, while captain Babar Azam said that the continuous fall of wickets and not understanding the pitch properly was the main reason for this defeat. We could not take advantage of the first 6 overs

In the match against America, the Pakistani team's batting was very poor in the first 6 overs, in which they lost their 3 important wickets including Mohammad Rizwan till the score of 26. At the same time, Babar Azam said after the defeat to USA that we could not take advantage of the first 6 overs because you come under pressure due to continuous fall of wickets. As a batsman, you have to focus on building partnerships. At the same time, in bowling too, we could not do better in the first 6 overs, in which our spinners also failed to take wickets in the middle overs. At the same time, the American team defeated us in all these three places. Babar Azam also responded to the pitch in his statement and said that there was some moisture in the pitch initially and there was also a change in the speed of the ball, but I believe that being a professional player, you should understand the situation and adapt yourself accordingly.
