After the T20 World Cup, the USA is the new wonder of the cricket world. The nation organized the recently ended T20 World Cup along with West Indies. They grabbed most of the attention after beating Pakistan in the group stage. Months after the USA’s T20 World Cup win over Pakistan, USA pacer Ali Khan warns that his team can defeat Pakistan again.
USA’s Triumph Over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup:
For the first time ever, the United States of America organized the T20 World Cup along with West Indies. In their first-ever campaign, they performed impressively. But Pakistan was seen struggling in this tournament. They faced a defeat against the USA by 5 runs.
The match was an exciting thriller. USA’s bowlers kept Pakistan to a modest total of 159/7 in 20 overs. In response, the Pakistan bowlers struggled, allowing the USA to reach 111/2 in 14 overs. The game was tied at this point, but the USA remained calm under pressure.
In the Super Over, the USA scored an impressive 18 runs, setting Pakistan a challenging target of 19 runs. Pakistan fell short, managing only 13/1, and lost by five runs. That was a significant win for the USA side in that tournament.

Ali Khan’s Warning to Pakistan:
Nearly two months after the USA’s victory over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan-born USA pacer Ali Khan has issued a warning to Pakistan. He claims his team is ready to replicate their strong performance and defeat Pakistan once more.
He said, “I think we are capable enough of beating them (Pakistan) again. If we get a chance to play them again. No disrespect to them, but I think we are a really good side now, and once we are like a full-strength squad, we can beat any team on our day, not just Pakistan. But it will be a great game if we get a rematch with Pakistan.”
Being the host, the USA gave some tough competition to the opponents. Being in the group A with India, Pakistan Canada, and Ireland, they registered 2 wins out of 4 matches and qualified for the group stage. However, the group stage was a disappointing one. In three games, they faced defeat in all of them. But they ended the T20 World Cup campaign with some great memories.
