Pakistan are set to face the United States of America in Match No. 12 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo on Tuesday, February 10. Pakistan opened their campaign with a tense three-wicket victory, gaining early momentum in the tournament. While confidence will be high after that win, memories of the shock defeat suffered against the USA during the 2024 edition remain vivid. The Men in Green will be eager to settle scores and assert their dominance in this crucial group-stage encounter.

The United States, led by Monank Patel, showed encouraging signs in their opening match against defending champions India. Despite eventually losing by 29 runs, the USA competed strongly for large parts of the contest before Suryakumar Yadav’s decisive innings and India’s bowling attack swung the match away from them. That performance will give the Americans belief heading into this clash, as they aim to challenge Pakistan again and prove that their 2024 upset was no one-off result.
