The Pakistan vs USA contest in Group A is a fascinating clash between an established cricketing powerhouse and a rapidly improving USA side. Pakistan will aim to assert dominance, while the USA looks to challenge with fearlessness. The last time these two sides met in the T20 World Cup, USA was able to surprise Pakistan, winning the game in Super Over, thanks to Saurabh Netravalkar's heroics.

Match Preview
Though Pakistan lost against USA the last time these two teams met, but Pakistan will start as favourites in this game. Pakistan’s bowling attack gives them a clear edge, but the USA’s aggressive batting approach means they cannot be taken lightly.
