What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
USA have shown some remarkable confidence coming into this game, something that has rarely been said about them and cricket.
In the opening game of the tournament, USA looked like they were in strife before hitting their stride and smashing the Canada bowlers out of the park. They notched up their maiden ICC World Cup victory in it.
On the other hand, the previous T20 World Cup runner-up Pakistan haven’t had any game under their belt in the West Indies/USA under their belt since landing here while missing out on practice sessions too because of the weather.
They have won this title once – way back in 2009 – but their lack of consistency in the knock-out stages has meant that they haven’t been able to add to that list.
Quick PAK vs USA Preview
Pakistan will be a tad worried. Their record in World Cups played in this region has seen them get knocked out by minnow countries and they enter this tournament on the back of a poor showing in England.
The team lost 2-0 to England but more vitally there wasn’t much to write home about as far their performances are concerned.
They will know they will have to go back to their tried and tested opening combination of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan but can the coaching staff get them to score quicker?
Unlike in the matches played in New York where preservation seems to be the name of the game, the two matches played here have shown contrasting results – 190-plus got chased down in one by USA while Netherlands scraped through to 109 to win the other.
USA have the advantage of having played one game here in which Aaron Jones blasted a 40-ball 94 to hand them the win. His 131-run stand with Andries Gous has been the partnership of the tournament so far.
Harmeet Singh continues to be their best bowler but USA will need some support from the rest too.
