Social media erupted in praise for Pakistan following their commanding 32-run win over the United States of America (USA) in the 12th match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on Tuesday.

The Green Shirts set a 191-run target for the USA on the back of a fiery half-century from Sahibzada Farhan, followed by quick knocks from Babar Azam and Shadab Khan.

Defending 191, Pakistan restricted the USA to 158-8 in their 20 overs, with spinner Usman Tariq leading the bowling attack with three wickets.

Fans heaped praise on the national side for the thumping victory in the game, with some recalling the heartbreak faced in the T20 World Cup 2024.
