New Delhi. Pakistan team was heading towards victory against USA. He got a target of 19 runs in the super over. In reply he scored 5 runs in 2 balls. Now 14 runs were needed in 4 balls. Iftikhar Ahmed hit a powerful shot on the third ball of the over. The ball went into the air. At first glance it looked like the ball was landing safely. No fielders around. Then Milind Kumar came like a gust of wind and dived forward to catch the ball a few inches above the ground. Pakistan, which was heading towards victory, was now facing defeat.
When USA beat Pakistan in the T20 World Cup on Thursday, ‘India B’ started trending on social media. The reason is that there were 5 players in America’s playing eleven who were either born in India or their parents were born in India. But the real miracle was done by the sixth ‘Indian’ Milind Kumar, who came on as a substitute fielder during the Super Over.
USA vs PAK: Pakistan lost, may be out of T20 World Cup, USA win changes equation, India also lost
