Monank Patel (Player of the Match): "It's a big achievement. Beating Pakistan while facing them for the first time is a great effort. It was a complete team performance from us. We did a fine job after electing to bowl first to restrict them to 159 and then chasing it down.

I'm happy with my performance but more happy with the win. The plan was to get a good partnership from the top three. Me and Gous put a good partnership.

The plan between me and Gous was to play the cricketing shots. He took the pressure off me and we built a solid partnership to take it deep.

You know, as a batsman and as a player, you want to show off in the big games. Whatever I score, it has to be in the winning cause."

Babar Azam (Pakistan Captain): "I think, the first six overs while batting, we couldn't capitalize. We couldn't get the momentum and we lost back-to-back wickets. You have to really step up as a batter to build partnerships.

To be honest, we were not up to the mark in the first six overs. Our spinners also were not picking wickets in the middle overs. We will come back stronger but we were not up to the mark today. We will learn from the mistakes.

Very hard. Credit to the USA team for playing well in all the departments. They played well and hence, they won the match.

There was a little bit moisture early in the game. A few were coming onto the bat nicely and a few were stopping a bit. You have to adapt to the conditions quickly and we failed to capitalize in the first six overs."

Monank Patel (USA Captain): "Winning the toss and the way we bowled in the first six overs was brilliant. We had picked up three wickets in the powerplay and the way we bowled, we continued bowling till the 12th over and it was fantastic. We knew they will get the partnership but we knew they will take chances. But the way me and Gous batted was really good.

Playing in the World Cup, you don’t get a chance every year to play in the World Cup. You don’t always get a chance to play Pakistan and you have to be at your best while competing against them."

PHEW!!! What a contest we just witnessed. USA create history by beating Pakistan in a Super Over. They win two in a row in this World Cup and the Asian side gets off to a losing start. It was a humdinger of a contest and expect more from this edition of World Cup. For now, you can switch tabs as Scotland are facing Namibia in Barbados.

It's time for us to take your leave. This is Akshay Bhide, signing off, on behalf of my co-commentators Ninaad Dixit, AkshayaKrishna Polya and Ajay Pal Singh and scorer Paras Yadav. Until next time, cheers and goodbye.
