A Quick Look at Both Teams
Pakistan is a cricketing powerhouse. They have been playing international cricket since 1952. They won the ODI World Cup in 1992, the ICC Champions Trophy in 2017, and the T20 World Cup in 2009. Their talent runs deep and their fan base runs global.
The United States, on the other hand, is cricket’s ultimate underdog story. They only became a Full ICC Member in 2024. They co-hosted the T20 World Cup that year. And before 2024, most people outside cricket circles had no idea the USA even had a national cricket team.
Put these two sides on the same pitch and you get fireworks. Literally.

| Result | USA won by 5 runs (Super Over) |
| Player of the Match | Monank Patel (USA) |

USA captain Monank Patel won the toss and chose to field in Dallas. His bowlers did exactly what was needed: they had Pakistan 26 for 3 inside the powerplay. That was Pakistan’s joint-lowest powerplay score in T20 World Cup history at that point. Babar Azam and Shadab Khan rebuilt brilliantly with a 72-run stand. But Nosthush Kenjige took three wickets on debut and restricted Pakistan to 159 for 7 in 20 overs.
In the chase, Monank Patel led from the front with a magnificent fifty. USA were cruising. Pakistan fought back in the death overs and, going into the final over, USA needed 15 off 6 balls. Haris Rauf gave away 14 runs. Nitish Kumar hit 4 off the last ball to force a Super Over at 159 all.
In the Super Over, Aaron Jones and Harmeet Singh smashed 18 runs for USA. Pakistan needed 19 to win. Saurabh Netravalkar bowled with ice-cold nerves and Mohammad Amir gave away extras. Pakistan managed just 13 for 1. USA won by 5 runs. American cricket had officially arrived.

Match 2: Pakistan Exact Revenge in Colombo (February 10, 2026)
Match Info

| Match | ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, Match 12, Group A |
| Date | February 10, 2026 |

| Toss | USA won, chose to bowl |
| Result | Pakistan won by 32 runs |
| Player of the Match | Sahibzada Farhan (Pakistan) |
| T20I No. | 3696 |
Pakistan were hungry for revenge. USA had the confidence of their 2024 upset. But this time, there was no Super Over drama. Pakistan batted first and Sahibzada Farhan turned it into a one-man show. He struck 73 off 41 balls before USA’s Shadley van Schalkwyk, spectacular for the second match in a row, took 4 for 25. Babar Azam added 46 and Shadab Khan smashed 30 off 12 in a cameo. Pakistan posted 190 for 9.
In the chase, USA needed their best batting effort. Shayan Jahangir gave them hope with a blazing 49 off 34 balls. Milind Kumar chipped in with 29 and Shubham Ranjane scored a fighting 51 off 30. But Pakistan’s spinners strangled the middle overs. They bowled 25 overs of spin in total, the joint-most by any team in a T20 World Cup match. Usman Tariq on T20 World Cup debut took 3 for 27. USA ended on 158 for 8. Pakistan won by 32 runs.
Notable: This match was Shaheen Shah Afridi’s 100th T20 International. Also, Ehsan Adil became only the second man in history to represent an opposing team against Pakistan, having previously played for Pakistan itself.
