The Super 8 match of the T20 World Cup 2024 took place at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, and saw the West Indies defeat the USA by nine wickets in an impressive display of cricketing brilliance. The West Indies' first batters established an aggressive tone right away while chasing a modest goal of 129, and they swiftly put together an outstanding performance to undermine the needed runs.
West Indies reached the goal in just 10.5 overs, despite losing opener Johnson Charles for a meager 15. With an impressive innings that saw him smash 82 runs off just 39 balls, Shai Hope was the star of the show. He hit one of the fastest fifty of the competition thus far with his explosive knock, which featured multiple boundaries and sixes. While adding 27 runs to the total, Nicholas Pooran offered reliable support. Harmeet Singh of the USA was able to halt the surge of runs even though he took the only wicket of the innings.
