USA, batting first, scored 18 runs in the super over but Pakistan could only score 13.

Yuvraj Singh slammed Pakistan for not giving the strike to Fakhar Zaman during the super over. Zaman, being the left-hander, would have had a significant advantage over the left-hand seemer of USA. Singh, who is the joint ambassador of the tournament, praised the USA captain, Monank Patel, and the team ‘for making smart decisions under pressure’.
“I don’t understand why didn’t @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. Nonetheless have to give it #TeamUSA @usacricket for making smart decisions under pressure specially the captain Monank Patel.”

Pakistan will now have to win all the matches to qualify for the Super 8. Otherwise, they will have to sit and wait for the results of others. Their next match is with the in-form India, and they will have to sweat a lot to win it. Yuvraj Singh warns them of that.
“Now, Pakistan needs a must-win against India & they surely need to bat & field better! With India’s strong start, it’s gonna be hard to beat us!”
