Watch: Canada players started to celebrate before losing the match against the USA in Super Over 

 

During a match in the ICC T20 World Cup America Qualifiers that was held in Antigua on Wednesday, the Canada side started to celebrate their victory before the umpire makes a call.

They got a decent start from the openers and Navneet Dhaliwal and Ravinderpal Singh made a good partnership in the middle. Both the batsmen added 44 runs each and helped the side to post a quite challenging total of 142 runs on board. 

Summary of the match:

Chasing the target, Steven Taylor and Monank Patel opened the innings for the USA. Both the batters didn't live up to the expectations and went back to the pavilion with the numbers 6 and 0.

Aaron Jones and Ian Holland also returned to the dressing room with cheap scores. But Xavier Marshall played a decent knock in the middle and scored 28 runs. Then the lower-order did a good job as Nisarg Patel, Jaskaran Malhotra and Karima Gore scored 25, 35 and 31 runs respectively.
