Analysis
The USA completed a thrilling chase to beat Canada in the T20 World Cup 2024 and register their first win in tournament history. Though their bowling was under the pump, all-rounders Corey Anderson and Harmeet Singh impressed with the ball. Then with the bat, it was the Aaron Jones show with the USA vice-captain smashing a brilliant 94 in 40 balls with four fours and 10 sixes.
Regarding Pakistan, the Men in Green have had some turbulent times with a major change in captaincy, leadership groups and a string of below-par performances. But, even in the past, the Pakistani teams have thrived in chaos, making them a dangerous team in this tournament. Pakistan’s batting is front-loaded with a top-four of Saim Ayub, Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman. Similarly, the Men in Green also boast a brilliant pace attack but their spinners and lower-order batters remain their biggest issue.
