Pakistan are up against USA in an important T20 World Cup match on Tuesday (February 10) in Colombo.

Pakistan, led by Salman Ali Agha, enter the Group A encounter as favourites but carries the weight of inconsistency after a narrow win over the Netherlands in their opener. After their win over the Netherlands, Pakistan may head into this match with the same team.

USA, the co-hosts of the previous edition, have shown rapid growth in associate cricket and arrive motivated after a recent loss to India. This evening match under lights could be influenced by dew, favouring the chasing side on a balanced Colombo pitch. They almost pulled off a miracle against India and will be coming into this match with confidence.

What happened in the last Pakistan vs USA match?

The main storyline heading into this rematch is the unforgettable encounter when Pakistan and USA last met in the 2024 T20 World Cup. On June 6, 2024, at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, the co-hosts USA pulled off one of the biggest upsets in T20 World Cup history by defeating Pakistan in a thrilling Super Over.

Pakistan posted 159/7, with contributions from Babar Azam and others, but struggled against disciplined USA bowling led by Saurabh Netravalkar. In reply, USA reached 159/3 in their 20 overs, anchored by Monank Patel's half-century and steady finishing from Aaron Jones, forcing a dramatic tie.

This shock result derailed Pakistan's 2024 campaign early and propelled the United States forward. Pakistan will seek revenge in Colombo, aiming to avoid another slip-up against the determined Americans, while the USA looks to replicate their giant-killing feat against a powerhouse.
