It is time for an important Group A match of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, where Pakistan are facing the United States of America in the 12th game of the tournament. Both teams are looking for a crucial victory in this fixture that will shape the points table of the group.

Pakistan can't forget the demon of Super Over defeat against the hosts USA in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 group stage fixture. Pakistan started the 2026 edition with a win against the Netherlands, which was a tough victory, as once the match was moving away from them before Faheem Ashraf rescued them to claim a win in the final over. 

Meanwhile, despite a great fight against the hosts and defending champions India, the USA started the T20 World Cup 2026 with a 29-run defeat.
