USA vs PAK – Toss Factor
Grand Prairie Stadium is a good batting track with a slight advantage for the team batting first. The skipper winning the toss would not mind batting first on this pitch and putting up a challengeable target for the opponents to chase.
Scenario: If United States win the toss
- The team batting first will have an advantage on this wicket. So, if the USA get to bat first, keep Aaron Jones, Andries Gous and Monank Patel as key batters.
- Ali Khan, Corey Anderson, and Harmeet Singh will be the best choices in United State’s bowling.
Scenario: If Pakistan win the toss
- Considering the fact that teams batting first have enjoyed more success than the batting second sides at this venue, Pakistan will too like to field first after winning the toss.
- Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Usman Khan, and Mohammad Rizwan will be the best choices in Pakistan’s batting.
- Shaheen Afridi, Imad Wasim, and Haris Rauf will be playing an important part while bowling second.
USA vs PAK Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks
Scenario: If United States Bat First
Aaron Jones (USA): Aaron Jones has struck 94 runs in the first match with a strike rate of 235.00. His batting position and current form make him a prime C/VC option for this game.
Haris Rauf (PAK): If USA bat first, then Haris Rauf will be the biggest threat they will face. Rauf picked up five wickets in two innings against England in recently concluded T20 series, and he will be a good pick for the C/VC option for this game.
Scenario: If Pakistan Bat First
Babar Azam (PAK): Skipper and the right-handed top-order batter, has struck out 68 runs in the two matches against England in recently concluded T20 series. His batting position and current form make him a prime C/VC option for this game.
Andries Gous (USA): Aaron Jones has struck out 65 runs in the first match with a strike rate of 141.30. His aggressive batting and current form make him a prime C/VC option for this game.
USA vs PAK High Risk, High Rewards
Corey Anderson (USA): The former New Zealand international player and excellent all-rounder needs no introduction, but he has not been consistent over the years. He picked up one wicket in the last match.
Usman Khan (PAK): Usman Khan played an excellent innings of 38 runs with a strike rate of 180.95 in the last match against England in recently concluded T20 series, and he is a perfect fit for this category.
USA vs PAK Stay Aways
Azam Khan (PAK): Azam Khan has not been in good form recently; he has struck out only 11 runs in the two matches against England in recently concluded T20 series. He could be avoided for this fixture.
