USA vs PAK Live Score, T20 World Cup: Speaking after the defeat, Pakistan captain Babar said, "First 6 overs while batting we didn’t capitalise. Back to back wickets always put you on the back foot, as a batter you need to step up and build partnerships. We were not up to the mark in the first 6 overs with the ball. Our spinners also did not take wickets in the middle overs so these things cost us. Very hard, all credit to USA, they played better than us in all three departments. Little bit of moisture in the pitch, it was also two-paced. As a professional you need to assess the conditions."

USA vs PAK Live Score, T20 World Cup: This is Pakistan's third defeat i four tied games (super overs and bowled out). Meanwhile, this is also USA's second win in as many Super Overs. On the other hand, Pakistan is the second Test-playing national after Bagladesh, whom USA have beaten in T20Is. Pakistan have also lost to a non-full member side in T20Is for the first time.

USA vs PAK Live Score, T20 World Cup: Pakistan vs USA - Weather gods made their presence felt in Dallas ahead of Pakistan's World Cup opener against co-hosts USA.

The Grand Prairie Stadium has produced high-scoring games at the T20 World Cup.

USA vs PAK Live Score, T20 World Cup: Pakistan vs USA - Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has come out in the defence of Azam Khan - the son of former Pakistan cricketer Moin Khan. Azam has been subjected to trolling on social media. Due to his bulky frame and lack of match-winning performances, the Pakistan gloveman is facing the wrath of fans. “He is under immense pressure. He is being body shamed, is being trolled,” former Pakistan captain Rashid told The Indian Express. “Azam is an exceptional batsman in T20s. He is a clean hitter, plays spinners well, has worked on his game against the pacers. But I will not rate him as a keeper. It is nothing to do with his fitness, but because he doesn’t have that experience. He is still very new and raw to international level,” Rashid added.

USA vs PAK Live Score, T20 World Cup: Former champions Pakistan will kickstart their T20 World Cup campaign against co-hosts USA in Dallas.

Ayub's strike rate was below par against Babar or Rizwan. Should Pakistan open with Babar and Rizwan vs USA?

USA vs PAK Live Score, T20 World Cup: Returning Mohammad Amir has backed Shadab Khan and Azam Khan to live up to expectations against USA in the T20 World Cup. Babar Azam's Pakistan side is set to open their campaign against co-hosts USA at the Grand Prairie Stadium. Speaking to reporters at the pre-match press conference, veteran pacer Amir extended his support to the misfiring duo of the Green Army.

"I always say that the player who has performed and proved himself never doubts his ability. Yes, there is a bad patch in cricket. And this happens with every cricketer. All the legends also if you see in the past, sometimes even they can't perform well," Amir said. "And no doubts on the ability and quality of Shadab and Azam. They play and perform all over the world. They are one game away - the kind of players that they are, they can single-handedly win the match for you," he added.

USA vs PAK Live Score, T20 World Cup: All-rounder Imad Wasim will miss Pakistan's T20 World Cup opener against USA in Dallas. Wasim is out of the fixture due to a persistent side strain.

USA vs PAK Live Score, T20 World Cup: Babar Azam is back as captain for the T20 World Cup. The Pakistan skipper earlier stepped down after a forgetful show in the 2023 World Cup.
