TEAMS PREVIEW
Pakistan Preview
Salman Agha and his men defeated the Netherlands by 3 wickets in their opening game. However, this win wasn't without its drama, as the Pakistani top and middle order had nearly thrown the game away, but a cameo by Faheem Ashraf got them over the finishing line. In the previous edition, they suffered a shocking loss against the USA, and Agha would like the team to improve its form and register a big win.
Sahibzada Farhan did well in the last game, and he will look to deliver a good start with Saim Ayub. Babar Azam's dip in form is bad news for the team, and he must add runs in the middle order alongside Salman Agha and Usman Khan after the scare in the last game. Faheem Ashraf will be confident after his match-winning knock and must do well in the lower middle order with Shadab Khan and Mohammad Nawaz.
Shaheen Afridi has conceded more than 8.5 runs per over in the last few games, and the team needs a good start from him and Salman Mirza. Abrar Ahmed is the key bowler in these conditions and must bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Mohammad Nawaz. The team needs a strong showing from the supporting roles of Shahdab Khan and Saim Ayub.
Interesting Stats
- Babar Azam's strike rate in 2026 is less than 115, which is worrying
- Shaheen Afridi has conceded more than 8.5 runs/over this year
Babar has struggled with his strike rate in the last two years since his comeback and has scored at a strike rate of less than 115 in the last 12 games, but he remains the backbone of the batting department
PAK Over/Under Betting Tips
Babar Azam Total Runs Under 23.5 1.85
Babar Azam is having a tough time with the bat off late where he has struggled to score runs. In the last match against the Netherlands, Azam scored 15 runs in 18 balls, which put pressure on Pakistan in the middle overs. Given his current form, we predict another low scoring game for Babar and his score to be under 24 runs.
Sahibzada Farhan Total Runs Over 24.5 1.85
Sahibzada Farhan played a match winning knock of 47 runs in 31 balls in the last match against Netherlands. He has been in good form recently, where over the last five matches he managed to score 112 runs, averaging 23. Given his current run of form, we back Farhan to score over 24 runs in today's match against USA.
Pakistan Predicted Playing XI:
Salman Agha (c), Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Babar Azam, Usman Khan (wk), Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Salman Mirza, Abrar Ahmed
Pakistan Key Players From Previous Game Of ICC Men's T20 World Cup, 2026

United States of America Preview
Monank Patel and his men went down by 29 runs against the defending champions, India, in the last game. But the team can draw several positives from the last game, where they nearly caused one of the biggest upsets in recent years. Patel would like his team to draw inspiration from their win against Pakistan two years ago and repeat it here.
Andries Gous and Saiteja Mukkamalla went out cheaply in the last game, and the team expects a better show from the pair. Monank Patel has made 365 runs in the last 9 games, and he will look to do well in the middle order with Milind Kumar and Sanjay Krishnamurthi. Shubham Ranjane and Harmeet Singh must do well in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack troubled the Indians in the last game. Saurabh Netravalkar is going through a poor patch, and he will look to strike early with Ali Khan. Shadley van Schalkwyk picked 4 wickets in the last game and must trouble the batters in the middle overs with Mohammad Mohsin. Shubham Ranjane and Harmeet Singh must bowl tight lines as their opponents have a strong batting lineup.
Interesting Stats
- Monank Patel has made runs at a strike rate of 163 runs in the last 12 months
- Saurabh Netravalkar conceded at more than 11 an over in the last 4 games
USA Over/Under Betting Tips
Monank Patel Total Runs Over 15.5 @ 1.82 (1xBet)
Monank Patel has led from the front in the last 12 months, with more than 350 runs in 13 games and he remains the key batter for the team.
USA Over/Under Betting Tips
Sanjay Krishnamurthi Total Runs Over 12.5 1.85
Sanjay Krishnamurthi almost won the game for USA against India, where he scored a crafty knock of 37 runs in 31 balls on a tricky Wankhede track against the quality Indian bowling attack. His style of batting will suit at SCC ground, where he can smother the spinners and we back Krishnamurthi to carry his good run of form from the last match and predict his score to be over 12 runs.
United States of America Predicted Playing XI:
Monank Patel (c), Andries Gous (wk), Saiteja Mukkamalla, Milind Kumar, Sanjay Krishnamurthi, Shubham Ranjane, Harmeet Singh, Mohammad Mohsin, Shadley van Schalkwyk, Ali Khan, Saurabh Netravalkar
United States of America Key Players From Previous Game Of ICC Men's T20 World Cup, 2026

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
We will have cloudy, humid conditions over Colombo, with 28°C at the start of the game and 54% humidity. It will be challenging for the batsmen as the ball will move around a lot under the heavy weather. Batsmen have to bat with caution during the game, as the spinners will trouble them.
PAK vs USA Pitch Report
Sinhalese Sports Club is a typical Sri Lankan venue that assists the spinners on the track. Batsmen have done well against the new ball as they can play their strokes freely, but the bowling conditions will be challenging in the second innings. Fast bowlers can do well when the weather is in their favor. The average first innings score at the venue is around 167 runs, and the team batting first must target 190.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
Pakistan to win the coin toss 1.90
We back Pakistan to win the coin toss in today's match against USA at SCC Colombo.
Toss: To Bowl
The batting conditions shall be challenging early in the game, with cloud cover creating problems for them. The ball will move off the surface in the early overs. The team winning the toss shall look to take advantage of the conditions by bowling first in this game.
PAK vs USA
Winning Prediction
The United States of America defeated Pakistan in the last World Cup, but the team hasn’t had many big wins to celebrate since then. Their bowlers failed to build on the momentum in the last game and must deliver a strong show. The Pakistanis are enjoying a good run in recent games and have a stronger bowling attack for these conditions. Based on the strengths of the two teams, Pakistanis start as the favorites.
Pakistan to win!
