Pakistan will not need reminding of what the USA are capable of. When these two teams last met at a T20 World Cup, it was the Americans who walked away with one of the biggest upsets in tournament history, knocking Pakistan out after a Super Over. That result still hangs over this contest in Colombo, especially with Pakistan coming off a nervy escape against the Netherlands and the USA fresh from pushing India to the edge.
Pakistan scraped past the Netherlands thanks to Faheem Ashraf’s late rescue act, a win that masked familiar problems rather than solving them. The USA, meanwhile, were a few early wickets away from scripting one of the great World Cup upsets before Suryakumar Yadav dragged India out of trouble. That performance alone has ensured Pakistan won’t be taking this game lightly.

The SSC surface surprised Pakistan with the amount of grass on offer in the opening game. It played truer than expected, with seamers finding some assistance early before spin came into play as the ball softened. Chasing remains the preferred option, especially under lights.

PakistanPakistan may still be breathing after their escape against the Netherlands, but the cracks were hard to miss. The middle order collapsed alarmingly once early wickets fell, and Babar Azam’s struggles continue to dominate discussion.
Probable XI:Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Salman Ali Agha (c), Babar Azam, Usman Khan (wk), Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Salman Mirza, Abrar Ahmed
USAThe USA come in confident, but not unscathed. Ali Khan is a serious doubt with a leg injury, and Shubham Ranjane is managing fitness concerns.
Probable XI:Andries Gous (wk), Saiteja Mukkamalla, Monank Patel (c), Milind Kumar, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Shubham Ranjane, Harmeet Singh, Mohammad Mohsin, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Ehsan Adil/Ali Khan, Saurabh Netravalkar
Match Prediction: Who will win Pakistan vs USA?
Prediction: Pakistan to win
Pakistan have already spent a chunk of their luck in this tournament, and they know it. On paper, they still have more depth, more spin, and more experience in pressure situations than the USA. But if their top order stutters again, the Americans have shown they are more than capable of ripping through that soft middle. Pakistan should win this, but not comfortably and certainly not without a few anxious moments along the way.
