Watch: Shadley van Schalkwyk picks two wickets in one over during PAK vs USA T20 WC 2026

Pakistan, keeping the nightmare T20 World Cup 2024 clash of the super-over defeat against the United States of America, locked horns with the opposition at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) in Colombo during the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026 as they looked to continue their winning momentum from the first game against the Netherlands.

Meanwhile, the USA took the field with confidence and energy from their previous encounter. Shadley van Schalkwyk, who had an impressive bowling performance in the previous game against India in the T20 WC 2026, continued to dominate the tournament. In his second over, he took two wickets of Saim Ayub and the opposition captain, Salman Ali Agha.

On the first delivery of the sixth over, Ayub threw his hands at the back of the length delivery, which was wide of his stumps, as he ended up getting an outside edge that flew straight into the hands of the short third man as Pakistan lost their first wicket with the left-hander getting back to the pavilion for 19 runs in 17 deliveries.

Four balls later in the same over, the USA bowler picked up another vital wicket of the opposition captain, Salman Ali Agha, who pulled the short ball flat towards the deep square leg region where Shayan Jahangir took a well-judged catch as Pakistan, having made a great start in the first five over, lost two wickets for two runs in the sixth and final over of the period.

In his very last over of the four-over spell, Shadley picked two more wickets. On the third delivery of the penultimate over, Shadab Khan, who was batting aggressively for his 30 runs in 11 balls so far, tried to go hard against the slower delivery and ended up getting caught in the hands of Andries Gous.

The USA bowler finished his spell with four wickets in his four overs for 25 runs as he picked up another vital wicket of Faheem Ashraf, who was the biggest contributor from Pakistan’s previous victory against the Netherlands to kick off the ICC event. It resulted in Pakistan finishing with 190 runs on the board in their allotted 20 overs.

Brief Scores: Pakistan 190/9 (Sahibzada Farhan 73, Babar Azam 46, Shadley van Schalkwyk 4/25) vs USA.
