Monank Patel | USA captain
Winning the toss and the way we bowled in the first 6 overs, we took wickets and kept them quiet. We knew they will take chances after their partnership. We knew we were in the game with 160 to chase; we just needed a partnership. Playing in a World Cup, you don’t get a chance to do it every year. We were fully committed to every single ball.
Babar Azam | Pakistan captain
First, 6 overs while batting, we didn’t capitalize. Back-to-back wickets always put you on the back foot. As a batter, you need to step up and build partnerships. We were not up to the mark in the first six overs with the ball. Our spinners also did not take wickets in the middle overs, so these things cost us. Very hard, all credit to USA, they played better than us in all three departments. A little bit of moisture in the pitch. It was also two-paced. As a professional, you need to assess the conditions.
This is the 3rd defeat for Pakistan in four tied games (super overs & bowl-out) and two wins for the USA in as many Super Overs.
Pakistan is the third Test-playing nation after Ireland and Bangladesh, whom the USA beat in the T20Is.
This is Pakistan’s first loss to a non-full member side in T20Is.

Monank Patel | Player of the Match
It is a big achievement, beating Pakistan and that too playing (them) for the first time. It was a complete team effort. We won the toss and we made sure we utilised the conditions well, we did really well to keep them under 160. I am happy with my contribution and more happy that we won the game. We spoke about the top three contributing and happy that myself and Gous could do that. The plan was to play proper shots and he (Gous) took the pressure off me. Happy to get the two points. As a batter and player you want to show off in the big games and I am happy that my knock came in a winning cause.
