This will be the first ever T20I match between the United States and Pakistan.

USA vs PAK Pitch Report

The tournament opener between the USA and Canada was played at the Grand Prairie, and it looked like a batting beauty. However, the Nepal-Netherlands match turned out to be a low-scoring affair. However, the anomaly can be attributed to Nepal, a weaker batting side and batting first in the game, did not put a competitive total on the board. We can expect a wicket with true pace and bounce acting in favour of the batters.

USA vs PAK Fantasy Cricket Tips

Given the on-paper strength of the two teams, it is expected that Pakistan will dominate the clash. However, the USA team have played good cricket in the last six-seven months and would not easily concede ground to Pakistan. So a 6-5 combination in favour Pakistan players might be ideal, however, if you believe Pakistan will it one-sided, you can go for a 7-4 combination.

USA vs PAK Winner Prediction

Pakistan are the favourites to win this game. However, the USA have the ability to pull of the first big upset of the tournament. 

USA vs PAK Top Player Picks

Mohammad Rizwan (PAK)

The Pakistani wicket-keeper batter is a consistent run-scorer and technically sound batter. Rizwan will be crucial at the top of the order for his team and will be one of the prime choices for this game. 

Babar Azam (PAK)

The Pakistan team’s skipper will be a significantly important part of the batting effort. Babar Azam can set the pace of his innings nicely and play big knocks. His ability to build on a start makes him an important choice for the fantasy contests.

Shaheen Afridi (PAK)

This left-arm pacer is one of the best for new ball bowling. Shaheen Afridi’s class may be too much for the US batters; hence, he could be a highly beneficial choice for the fantasy contests of the match. 

Aaron Jones (USA)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 94 Runs in 1 Match
• The US all-rounder played a brilliant knock under pressure in the first match against Canada. If the top two openers fail to give them a good start again, Aaron Jones could become the highest point earner from the US team. 

USA vs PAK Differential Picks

Usman Khan (PAK)

It is expected that Usman Khan will bat at number three for Pakistan, with Rizwan and Babar opening. Usman had a great PSL 2024 season with the bat and could be a game-changing choice in the fantasy contests.

Steven Taylor (USA)

Steven Taylor, one of the most experienced players in the USA and a steady opener, was not at his best in the first game. However, Taylor is pretty consistent overall and could be a good choice for fantasy contests.

USA vs PAK Fantasy Expert Advice
