Pakistan cricket team batter Azam Khan engaged in a heated exchange with a fan after being dismissed for a golden duck in the T20 World Cup 2024 match against the United States. Azam, facing a recent struggle for form, was caught LBW by Nosthush Kenjige for 0. As he walked back to the pavilion, Azam displayed animated expressions and exchanged stares with a fan. Though the exact reason behind the incident remains unknown, the viral image sparked social media discussion, with some users referencing 'nepotism' due to Azam being the son of ex-Pakistan captain Moin Khan.

In a surprising turn of events, newcomers USA defeated former champions Pakistan in the Super Over, marking the first major upset of the ongoing T20 World Cup. Pakistan, batting first, posted 159 for seven in 20 overs, while the USA responded with 159 for three.

During the Super Over, USA scored 18 runs for the loss of one wicket, while Pakistan managed only 13 for one.

This outcome draws comparisons to Pakistan's shocking loss to Ireland in the 2007 ODI World Cup when Ireland was participating in their first World Cup.

USA skipper Monank Patel led the charge with a fluent 50 off 38 balls, supported by Andries Gous with 35 runs in 26 balls. Aaron Jones, the standout performer from USA's victory over Canada in the tournament opener, remained unbeaten with 36 runs from 26 balls.

In Pakistan's innings, captain Babar Azam top-scored with 44 runs, while Shadab Khan contributed 40. USA's Nosthush Kenjige was the standout bowler, claiming three wickets for 30 runs.

USA's triumph not only elevated their position in the table but also marked a historic moment in their T20 World Cup campaign, following their earlier win against Canada.
