USA vs ENG, T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8, Group 2 Highlights: England roared as they became the first team into the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-finals on Sunday, June 23 at Kensington Oval, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake. Pacer Chris Jordan, a man reborn on his home soil, ignited the flame with a hat-trick. ENG dismantled the USA batting line-up, restricting them to a meager 115 runs. The chase, if it could even be called that, was a mere exhibition of power hitting by England's captain, Jos Buttler. His innings ate the USA bowling attack with an unbeaten 83 off just 38 balls. Seven mighty sixes and six fours rained down, with five maximums coming in a single over, bruising the USA bowlers and smashing Solar Panels there. This ruthless display saw England chase down the target in a just 9.4 overs

IND Vs BAN, T20 World Cup 2024 Highlights: India continued their unbeaten march in the T20 World Cup with a convincing 50-run victory over Bangladesh in Antigua on Saturday. This put them a step closer to securing a semi-final spot. Bangladesh, on the other hand, face a much steeper climb after this match. While neither team officially secured their semi-final fate, the numbers heavily favor the Indian side. India's batting showcased strong intent, reaching a commanding total of 196. Contributions came from across the order, with Hardik Pandya leading the charge with an unbeaten fifty. Bangladesh lacked the firepower and adaptability to chase down such a daunting target on a lively pitch

Pakistan Vs Ireland, ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Match 36, Highlights: PAK concluded their campaign with a three wicket victory against Ireland. Though not without a scare, the middle-order collapse, where they went from 52/2 to 62/6, gave Ireland a glimmer of hope. However, Babar Azam's steady presence at the crease prevented further mishaps. Contributions from the two Afridis, particularly with the bat, were crucial in supporting Babar and steering Pakistan to the win. Ireland fought valiantly, despite their low total, with McCarthy and the seamers delivering key breakthroughs. Pakistan’s batting throughout the tournament was disappointing. They struggled on difficult pitches and ultimately, their batting frailties led to their early exit. At the end, Shaheen Afridi's timely contribution with two sixes proved vital in securing the much-needed win for Pakistan. Check out highlights of PAK vs IRE
