This feat happened for the second time in the history of T20 World Cup
T20 World Cup Tie Matches: The T20 World Cup match played between Pakistan and USA crossed all limits of excitement. Although it was considered a light match, but when the match started, everyone’s attention turned towards it. The match was tied after 40 overs and then the decision was made by a super over. Where USA won. Meanwhile, it has happened after about 12 years, when two super overs have been played in the same season of T20 World Cup.
The match was tied for the first time in the year 2007
T20 World Cup started in the year 2007. Then in the very first season, the match played between India and Pakistan ended in a tie. However, there used to be no super over. The match was decided by a ball out. Which Team India won. Later, questions were raised about this, then the super over started. From the year 2007 to the year 2012, no T20 World Cup match ended in a tie. But in 2012, two matches went to the super over. First, the match played between Sri Lanka and New Zealand ended in a tie. The match played between New Zealand and West Indies also ended in a tie. Its decision was also made by a super over.
There have been two super overs this year
Since 2012, i.e. for about 12 years, there has never been a tie in this tournament. This year, the match played between Namibia and Oman ended in a tie, after which the decision was made through a super over. Something similar happened in the match between America and Pakistan. Here too the match was tied and after that USA won in the super over. That is, two super overs have happened only twice in the same year. First in the year 2012 and then in the year 2024. By the way, this tournament has just started and many matches are yet to be played. It remains to be seen whether we can get to see a super over after another tie this season. The answer to this will be found in the coming time.
