GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas: The United States scored a major upset at the T20 World Cup by beating heavyweights Pakistan in the super over on Thursday.
It was the co-host's second straight victory in Group A after it romped to seven-wicket win over Canada.
Aaron Jones, who smashed a 40-ball unbeaten 94 in the opening game, once again starred for the home team when he helped stretched the game into super over with another vital knock of 36 not out off 26.
Jones hit a six and then a single before Nitish Kumar’s boundary off the final ball tied the score at 159 at the end of regulation.
Pakistan panicked in the super over when much experienced fast bowler Mohammad Amir gave away 18 runs that included seven runs off wide balls.
