Babar Azam against the USA in T20 World Cup

Babar Azam has played multiple match winning knocks for Pakistan and all the sides that he has represented across different formats of the game. As Pakistan gear up to play their second 2026 T20 World Cup fixture against the United States, we take a look back at Babar Azam’s record against the USA.

The 31-year-old has come across the United Nations only once in his career so far and that was back in 2024 during the T20 World Cup. The USA hosted the competition and surprised everyone with their historic win over Pakistan in Texas. While the other players failed to get going, Babar stood out as Pakistan’s best performer in that match.

He scored 44 runs in 43 deliveries on a very tricky wicket to bat on and took Pakistan to 159/7 after 20 overs. Babar recorded three fours and two sixes and managed to hold his ground while wickets kept on falling on the other end. He maintained a strike rate of 102.32 which underlines the difficulty of the surface to bat.

Conclusion

Babar hasn’t played much cricket against the USA for us to jump into any conclusions. But, his last innings where he scored 44 off 43 speaks a lot about what he brings to the table. He did not take any risks and decided to keep the scoreboard moving despite losing wickets on the other end. He stood strong and did not give away his wicket cheaply and guided his side to a defendable total even though they lost in the super over.
