 "Pakistan vs USA live streaming: Where to watch today's T20 WC match?")
Pakistan posted a competitive total of 190/9 in their T20 World Cup 2026 match against USA, setting the opposition a target of 191. The innings got off to a blazing start with Sahibzada Farhan leading from the front, smashing 73 off 41 balls. He was well-supported by Babar Azam, who scored 46 off 28 balls, keeping the runs flowing. Farhan’s aggressive hitting featured several boundaries and a massive six, while Babar played a more composed knock, rotating the strike effectively.
USA's Late Fightback
USA's bowlers mounted a strong comeback in the latter stages of the innings, with Shadley van Schalkwyk claiming four wickets. His crucial spells included dismissing Farhan, causing Pakistan to lose their fourth wicket at 177/5. Harmeet Singh also made his mark, removing Shadab Khan for 11, further curbing Pakistan’s progress.
Strong Finish Despite Wickets Falling
Despite the fall of wickets, Pakistan's middle order managed to accelerate in the final overs. Shadab Khan hit a six before departing, and Mohammad Nawaz added some quick runs. However, the lower order couldn’t capitalize, leaving USA with a steep chase of 191.
Pakistan’s strong top-order contributions from Farhan and Babar set a solid foundation. USA now faces a tough challenge to chase down the total of 191 runs.
USA skipper Monaank Patel has won the toss and elected to field first on the night. Both skippers after the toss: Monaank: We’re going to bowl first. Looks like a good batting track and there’s a consistent breeze here, so once we know the target, it will be easy for us to chase it down. We have two changes. Ali Khan is still injured, so Adil comes in place of him. Sai misses out and Jahangir comes in. I think we played a lot of good cricket. There were a lot of positives from that game. One thing we discussed is that when we want to win against good teams, it’s important that we do well with both bat and ball. So the focus will be doing well in both departments in this game. We had a great game. First time playing against Pakistan, and the way we played was great to see. Everyone gave their effort, and we want to take confidence and motivation from that game and do well today. Salman: We’ve got one change. Usman Tariq is playing. Salman Mirza is unfortunately missing out. We wanted to give Usman a game. I think he’s a match-winner and a trump card for us, so we want to use him. I think we all know there are things we need to improve. We’ve sat down and talked about that, and I’m hoping we’ll be much better today. We’ve been playing really good cricket over the last few months, and we just want to continue playing good cricket every single day.
