Pakistan tied with USA (USA win Super Over by 5 runs)
We are back for the Super Over! Aaron Jones and Harmeet Singh walk out to the middle for USA. And it will be Mohammad Amir to bowl those six crucial balls for Pakistan.
... SUPER OVER ...
WE ARE GOING THE DISTANCE IN DALLAS! IT IS SUPER OVER TIME, FOLKS! With 12 runs needed off the last three balls, the game looked to be in Pakistan's bag but Aaron Jones's maximum and Nitish Kumar's boundary off the last ball has helped the USA take the game to a Super Over. Babar Azam is crossed with Haris Rauf for his choice of delivery on the last ball. The game has swung back and forth so far and now, we are in for quite the ride in the Super Over. In case you were wondering, it will be the USA to bat first in the Super Over.

Haris Rauf To Nitish Kumar
FOUR! NITISH KUMAR HAS JUST PULLED OFF SOMETHING UNBELIEVABLE HERE! GUESS WHAT? THE GAME ENDS UP IN A TIE AND A SUPER OVER WILL FOLLOW! Haris misses his mark and bowls a knee-length full toss on off, Nitish Kumar cashes onto it and picks the bones out of it, and clears mid off for a boundary. What a cracker of a contest! Babar Azam is absolutely livid here and why not?

Haris Rauf To Aaron Jones
A well-executed yorker on the middle, Aaron Jones digs it out straight down the ground for a single. The fielders from long on and long off converge but just a single is taken. Are we going to have a super over here? Or can Nitish Kumar pull off a heist here?

Excellent bowling! Full length ball on leg, Nitish Kumar hits hard but gets no real timing on it towards mid-wicket for a single.
Haris Rauf has been handed the task of bowling the final over with the USA needing 15 runs off the last 6 balls. Can Aaron Jones be the hero for the USA again?

Mohammad Amir To Nitish Kumar
A low full toss on the middle, Nitish Kumar spanks it downtown, hard and with quick hands. The ball bullets down the ground where Iftikhar runs to his left and puts in a timely slide and succeeds to cut the ball before the ropes. He throws the ball towards the non-striker's end but by the time, they cross for the third.
The third umpire has been called into action for a boundary check. Iftikhar Ahmed is the man in question and he looks to be fine, sliding to his left. Three runs taken.

lb
Mohammad Amir To Nitish Kumar
A huge appeal for LBW and Amir convinces his skipper to challenge it and sends it upstairs. Mohammad Amir guns it right on the front toe of the batter, Nitish Kumar fails to connect and the ball pings his front boot. UltraEdge shows that no bat is involved but the Ball Tracking saves Nitish Kumar as the impact is outside leg. Only a leg bye then.
Is that out? Mohammad Amir is convinced that he has trapped Nitish Kumar right in front of the stumps and Babar Azam takes the review. The front-on replays indicate that the ball has pinged Jones on the front pad and the impact seems to be outside leg. There is nothing on UltraEdge and as expected, the impact is outside leg. Pakistan have lost both their reviews now.
18.1
1
Mohammad Amir To Aaron Jones
Over the wicket, pace off outside off, Aaron Jones plays a one-handed stroke towards long on for a single.
Mohammad Amir has been handed the ball for the penultimate over. With 21 runs needed off the last 12 balls, the USA will need runs to flow from both ends, and Nitish Kumar, who has struggled so far, will need to find the fence in this over here.

Drinks break! The USA are going along nicely in their pursuit of 160 runs. Andries Gous and Monank Patel are looking assured out in the middle and have mixed caution with aggression to tick along. As for Pakistan, they find themselves right behind the eight ball here, failing to tighten the screws, nor have they managed to pick up timely wickets. They will be hoping that this break in play brings about a wicket for them to claw their way back into the game.

Shaheen Afridi To Monank Patel
A big, big shout for LBW but the umpire shakes his head. Babar Azam has a word with the bowler and the keeper and takes the review. The ball pitching outside leg might have saved Monank Patel there. And yes, as expected, it has indeed pitched outside leg on Ball Tracking. This was bowled on a back of a length, shaping back in, on middle, Monank Patel played all around it and got struck right in front of the stumps. Luckily for him, it pitched outside leg. Pakistan lose their review.

Shaheen Afridi To Monank Patel
EDGED AND FOUR! Fortuitous boundary for the USA skipper! Shaheen pitches it up, on off, Monank Patel shapes up for the straight drive but does not account for the angle. The ball catches the outside edge and flies through the gap between the keeper, Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed, standing at a wide slip. It was closer to Iftikhar than it was to Rizwan but the former did not make any attempt.

Shaheen Afridi To Monank Patel
Has Monank Patel been strangled down the leg side? Babar Azam has a chat with the bowler and the keeper before opting out of the review. No wide signalled by the umpire, so, it might have come off the pads. Shaheen serves it too straight, full and on the pads, Monank Patel misses the tickle as Mohammad Rizwan gathers it cleanly moving away to his left.
