**Amit:** Hey Shahul, did you see the T20 World Cup match between the USA and Pakistan? What a thrilling game!
**Shahul:** Absolutely, Amit! It was incredible. The United States handed Pakistan a shocking defeat. The match went all the way to a Super Over!
**Amit:** Yes, it was such a nail-biter. Both teams ended with the same score at the end of the regular 40 overs. Pakistan posted 159 for 7 after being invited to bat first. Babar Azam scored 44 off 43 balls, which was quite steadying after their early setbacks.
**Shahul:** I know! Pakistan was in deep trouble at 26 for 3 in just 4.4 overs. Babar and Shadab Khan had to work hard to get them back on track with that 72-run partnership. Shaheen Afridi's late cameo, scoring 23 not out off 16 balls, was crucial too.
**Amit:** Definitely. And Nosthush Kenjige was brilliant with the ball for the USA, taking 3 for 30 in his four overs. He really kept the pressure on Pakistan.
**Shahul:** Chasing 160, the USA also finished at 159 for 3 in their 20 overs. The tension was high when they needed 5 runs off the final ball. Nitish Kumar's four off Haris Rauf to tie the game and force a Super Over was absolutely clutch.
**Amit:** That was a moment to remember! In the Super Over, the USA set a target of 19 runs for Pakistan. Pakistan could only manage 13 in response, giving the USA a remarkable victory.
**Shahul:** It was such an exciting finish! The USA really showed their potential on a big stage. It's not every day you see an associate nation beating a cricketing giant like Pakistan in such a dramatic fashion.
**Amit:** True, it was a historic win for the USA. The way they kept their nerves and played under pressure was commendable. This match will definitely be talked about for a long time.
**Shahul:** For sure! It just goes to show that anything can happen in T20 cricket. I'm looking forward to seeing more such upsets and thrilling finishes in the tournament.
**Amit:** Me too. This World Cup is shaping up to be one of the best!
