USA defeated Pakistan on Thursday following a tense, dramatic Super Over, leaving fans of all sides bewildered – and delighted.

The opening stages have taken time to warm up, but you can't accuse the hosts of not pulling their weight, with two wins from their opening two matches to set tongues wagging.

It is the first time the T20 World Cup has been played on US soil, with matches to be staged in Texas, Florida and New York, as well as a number of clashes spread across the islands of co-hosts West Indies.

Reigning champions England were left disappointed after their opener against Scotland was abandoned. They will seek to get one over Australia on Saturday.
