Pakistan vs USA prediction

USA gave India a scare in their first game, bowling brilliantly to restrict their opponents to just 161/9 batting first on Saturday. It could have been even less than that if not for Suryakumar Yadav’s unbeaten 84 from 49 balls after being dropped earlier in his innings. Whilst USA fell short by 29 runs, they took the game deep and gained huge plaudits for their performance.

Pakistan will face a stern examination and if they do not come out of the blocks sharply whether it be with bat or ball, they could easily be caught out. However, Pakistan will be well aware as to the threat posed by this USA side, who beat them in the last Men’s T20 World Cup competition two years ago, so you’d expect the men in green to be out for revenge and locked in when it comes to focus. With that in mind, back Pakistan to claim that revenge.
