PAK vs USA Match Prediction: Cricket fans, tonight’s game is pure revenge drama! Pakistan faces the United States in the 12th match of the T20 World Cup 2026 at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) in Colombo.

PAK vs USA Pitch & Weather Report
SSC Colombo is a bowler-friendly ground. Early grass helps pacers swing the new ball. Later, the pitch slows down – spinners take over and make life tough for batters. Average first innings score : 155–170 runs Toss factor : Most captains will bowl first. Chasing works better here, and dew in the second innings makes bowling tricky. Weather : Cloudy, 27–29°C, only 10-15% chance of rain – expect a full match.

PAK vs USA Match Prediction
Win Probability : Pakistan 65% | USA 35%
Pakistan looked a bit shaky in their opener against Netherlands but pulled through thanks to Faheem Ashraf’s heroics. Their spin pair – Abrar Ahmed and Mohammad Nawaz – is tailor-made for this Colombo track. They’ll dominate the middle overs.
USA has shown they can compete with top teams, but Pakistan’s hunger for revenge, better depth, and bowling strength give them the clear edge. Expect the Men in Green to win and bounce back strongly.
