In one of the biggest shocks in cricket history, the USA defeated Pakistan in the T20 Cricket World Cup in Dallas, Texas. The co-hosts, who have never played in the T20 World Cup before, have now won their first two games in a competition involving shorter format of cricket in which each side has one innings of up to 20 overs (six balls). The U.S. now stand a strong chance of qualifying for the Super8 round (another round-robin stage before the semi-finals).
