Former Team India cricket Sanjay Manjrekar did not hold back as he spoke about Pakistan's latest defeat at the hands of the United States Cricket Team. While speaking at a Star Sports broadcast, Manjrekar said that it hurts him to see Pakistan, who were once world champions, hitting rock bottom while the United States reached Mount Everest.

"So early to reach such a peak as far as international cricket is concerned, winning this game. You have got one team like USA reaching Mt. Everest while Pakistan have really hit rock bottom. I have not seen a worse performance from Pakistan.

"This is not just about the defeat. The review, the Super Over from Mohammad Amir, the misfields when the pressure was on. It hurts me to see this because when I played against Pakistan they were world champions, they have hit rock bottom now," Sanjay Manjrekar said.

Speaking of the game, Pakistan was completely embarrassed as the United States, who were playing for the first time, pulled off one of history's biggest upsets. After the score was deadlocked, the co-hosts defeated the Men in Green in the Super Over. The match went to a super over when Pakistan reached 159/7 and the USA scored the same amount. Mohammed Amir's inconsistent bowling, which cost Pakistan eighteen runs, caused them to concede too many runs. With two consecutive victories, the United States surpassed India to lead Group A. It was a miracle in Dallas, and the home team will strive for continued dominance in the showpiece tournament.
