Pakistan Vs USA T20 World Cup 2024: Predicted Playing 11 And Key Updates

Pakistan will face co-hosts USA at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas as they commence their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign on Thursday, June 6. USA already have two points on the board after defeating Canada in their first match of the tournament.

Pakistan will be without Imad Wasim as the veteran all-rounder is ruled out of this match due to an injury. Babar Azam confirmed that Wasim will be back for the India clash. This absence provides an opportunity for Shadab Khan, who has been out of form recently. Azam Khan is likely to be dropped after his poor performance in England. Pakistan may opt for the pace trio of Mohammad Amir, Shaheen Afridi, and Haris Rauf for this match.

For USA, their performance in the last match was commendable, and they are expected to field the same team against Pakistan. Aaron Jones, who played a brilliant knock against Canada, will be a key player for them.

USA Probable XI: Monank Patel (c/wk), Steven Taylor, Andries Gous, Aaron Jones, Corey Anderson, Harmeet Singh, Nitish Kumar, Shadley Van Schalkwyk, Ali Khan, Jasdeep Singh, Saurabh Netravalkar

Pakistan Probable XI: Babar Azam (c), Saim Ayub, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Fakhar Zaman, Usman Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Amir
