Pakistan will aim to banish memories of a humiliating past defeat when they face a spirited USA in the T20 World Cup on Tuesday, 20 months after suffering an infamous loss to the same opponents. The Americans had announced their arrival on the global stage during their 2024 World Cup debut with a memorable win over Pakistan.
Having gone down to India in their 2026 opener, the USA will be keen to produce another upset in the evening clash at the Sinhalese Sports Club. Both sides, however, have concerns with the bat heading into the contest.
Pakistan looked comfortable while chasing 148 against the Netherlands before a reckless middle-order collapse threatened to derail the chase. Faheem Ashraf eventually steered them home, but the implosion would have left the side rattled. USA, meanwhile, pushed defending champions India at the Wankhede but failed to back up an impressive bowling effort with meaningful contributions from their batters.
The USA will be hoping for a stronger showing from their top order after a disappointing powerplay display against India, with captain Monank Patel admitting his side played too many loose shots early on, including his own soft dismissal.
While the bowling unit impressed under the leadership of South Africa-born Shadley Van Schalkwyk, senior pacer Saurabh Netravalkar endured a forgettable outing and will be eager to bounce back against Pakistan. The Americans, who trained in Sri Lanka ahead of the ICC event, are well acquainted with the conditions, though concerns remain over the fitness of pacer Ali Khan after he limped off during the India match. Ahead of all the action, here are the live streaming details of the match.
