Pakistan is ready to take on the USA in the International Cricket Council (ICC) on June 6. The match will be played in Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium, Texas.
Teams Overview:
The Pakistani team is equal to any strong team in this ongoing World Cup, as they can upset any team. Pakistan has a solid batting lineup with Captain Babar Azam and Muhammad Rizwan, while in power-hitting, they have Fakhar Zaman, Azam Khan, and Iftikhar Ahmed.
With Muhammad Amir’s and Imad Wasim’s return, Pakistan’s bowling could be a nightmare for any big giant, but unfortunately, Imad has been ruled out of the first T20 match against the USA due to side strain. Mystery spinner Abrar Ahemd can be included in the squad instead of Imad Wasim.
On the other hand, the USA is also a very good team. They chased down a total of 190 plus runs in the first match against Canada. Their batting is looking very good, and they have the potential to upset Pakistan.
Aaron Jones dominated the Canadian side in the last match, scoring 94 runs on just 40 balls.
Key Players:
Pakistan: Pakistan has anchor players like Muhammad Rizwan and skipper Babar Azam, and power-hitting Pakistan has Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Azam Khan.

Head to Head:
Pakistan and USA have never faced each other in the T20 format. They will play their maiden game against each other on June 6.
