The Pakistan cricket team is all set to begin their T20 World Cup campaign against the USA on June 6. The Men in Green haven’t played even one warm-up game and are coming off a series defeat at the hands of England. Meanwhile, Monank Patel’s home side is coming off an emphatic win over Canada and won’t be an easy nut to crack.
Pakistan vs USA Head-to-Head
This will be their first encounter on a cricket field.
Pakistan vs USA Team News
The Men in Green suffered a major blow before the game, with their star all-rounder Imad Wasim out of the match. For the USA, fitness issues or injuries won’t be a concern.
PAK vs USA Pitch Report
We can expect a batter’s graveyard at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. So far, two matches have been played on the ground, and just 350 runs have been scored in four innings. No team has even crossed the 100-run mark. Pacers in general will thrive here, but spinners have troubled the batters as well.
PAK vs USA Weather Report
On June 6, there is a basically no chance chance of rain from 10 AM to 4 PM (match starts at 10:30 AM) in Dallas, and humidity will hover between 39 and 65%. The good thing is that since the game will be played in the morning and afternoon, dew will not play a factor.
