Pakistan's defeat against US is lesson for PCB: Tanvir Ahmad

Pakistan-origin American business tycoon Tanvir Ahmad has described the Pakistan cricket team’s defeat against the US in the T20 World Cup as a lesson for the team management and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

Ahmad, who plays an active role in promoting cricket in the US, revealed that he had advised the PCB to send the cricket team to Texas 15 days before the start of the T20 World Cup, offering to provide them with ground facilities for practice.

Speaking to the media in Dallas after the match between Pakistan and the US, he expressed his belief that the match’s outcome would have been different if his advice had been heeded.

It may recall that the United States enjoyed arguably the greatest day in their cricket history as they beat Pakistan in a stunning Super Over upset at the T20 World Cup on Thursday.Both teams made 159 in their regulation 20 overs, with the non-Test nation the United States then setting Pakistan 19 to win in the Super Over of this Group A match at Grand Prairie, near Dallas, Texas.
