In the opening Group A match of their T20 World Cup campaign, Babar Azam’s Men in Green will play co-hosts USA at Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas.
After beating Bangladesh in a three-match series, the USA is now going through a bright patch. They overcame its neighbor Canada by 7 wickets in the World Cup opener while chasing a target of 197.
Usman Khan may bat as a one-down after scoring 38 runs off of 21 balls in the previous game against England, although Mohammad Rizwan and captain Babar Azam are predicted to begin the innings.
Players such as all-rounder Shadab Khan, pinch hitter Iftikhar Ahmed, and wicket-keeper batsman Azam Khan will provide assistance for the master blaster Fakhar Zaman, who is enjoying a terrific run of form, in the middle order.
Imad Wasim, who bats at No. 7 as an out-and-out finisher, will be missed by the lower middle order, which means Pakistan’s tail end will be stretched thin in this game.
Three seamers, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Mohammad Amir, are available for selection for Pakistan; in the middle overs, two specialist spinners, Shadab Khan and mystery spinner Abrar Ahmed, may be called upon.
