PAK Win by 32 Runs | Pakistan vs USA Highlights, T20 World Cup 2026 Match 12: Usman Tariq, Sahibzada Farhan Shine As Green Shirts Clinch Victory

Pakistan Win by 32 Runs! Second consecutive win for Pakistan as they go on top of Group A points table. USA did well to fight with the bat but could not really trouble Pakistan bowlers. Shubham Ranjane impressed with his 51 off 30 balls. For Pakistan , Usman Tariq picked three wickets while Shadab Khan chipped in with two wickets. 

Down to last two overs now and USA need 42 runs to win. Shubham Ranjane has been impressive as he smashed Shaheen Afridi for two back to back sixes. Afridi concedes 19 runs in this over.

United States of America need 92 more runs in 36 balls. The asking rate has gone over 15 runs per over now. There was a let-off for Milind Kumar as KM Nafay dropped him bear deep mid-wicket off Usman Tariq's bowling. 

OUT! Another wicket for Shadab Khan. Shayan Jahangir holes out to long-on fielder and Shaheen Afridi takes the catch. S Jahangir c Shaheen Afridi b Shadab Khan 49(34)

OUT! Shadab Khan strikes! USA captain Monank Patel is caught and bowled. He opted for slog sweep, gets the top-edge and the ball balloons high in the air.  Shadab settles under it and takes the catch. M Patel c and b Shadab Khan 3(10)

OUT! Firsthand breakthrough for Pakistan. Mohammad Nawaz strikes. Andries Gous was looking to clear the in-field but is caught near the cover as he skies ball high in the air. A Gous c Salman Agha b Mohammad Nawaz 13(13)

USA openers have begun well here. Some luck has favoured them but USA will take it however it comes. Shaheen Afridi has bowled two overs while Saim Ayub has bowled one.

Good start this for the USA, nine runs from the first over. A boundary each for Andries Gous and Shayan Jahangir in this over. Expensive start this by Afridi.

So, Pakistan finish with 190 on board. Some quick wickets for USA towards the end, four to be precise, and that put the brakes on Pakistan's scoring. But Pakistan will feel they can defend this total as they have quality spinners in their line up. USA will have to bat well to chase this down. Do join us back for their response.

Two overs to go now and Pakistan will be looking to get close to 200-run mark. Shadab Khan has provided his side with a much needed impetus, he is batting on 25 off 9 balls.

OUT! One more wicket for USA. Sahibzada Farhan perishes in process to up the ante, he is caught near the long-off boundary. End of fine knock by Farhan. S Farhan c Sanjay Krishnamurthi b Harmeet Singh 73(41)

OUT! Mohammed Mohsin strikes as he accounts for Babar Azam. He was looking to clear the long-on fielder but ended up hitting in front of him, who ran forward and dived to complete the catch. B Azam c Milind Kumar b Mohammad Mohsin 46(32)

Big over for Pakistan as Harmeet Singh concedes 21 runs. Babar Azam smashed him for a six and then a ball later for two back to back fours. And on the last ball, Sahibzada Farhan picked a boundary as well. Pakistan now looking to up the ante.

Pakistan's run-rate has gone down after the powerplay overs. The current partnership between Sahibzada Farhan and Babar Azam is now worth 45 off 36 balls.

Halfway through and Pakistan have done well but the USA will also feel they have things in control, especially after taking two wickets. Meanwhile, Sahibzada Farhan brings up his half-century off 27 balls.

Babar Azam is the new batsman in for Pakistan. It will be interesting to see how this partnership grows. Sahibzada Farhan has got a good platform to go big from here, he is nearing his half-century.

OUT! Another wicket for USA inside the Powerplay, in fact on the last ball. Salman Agha finds a fielder at deep square leg as he was trying to clear him. S Agha c Shayan Jahangir b Shadley van Schalkwyk 1(3)

OUT! A wicket for USA, this is the breakthrough they were looking for. Saim Ayub slashes hard and gets an outside edge. The ball goes towards short third-man fielder. S Ayub c Saurabh Netravalkar b Shadley van Schalkwyk 19(17)

16 runs off this over from Milind Kumar, the right-arm off break bowler. And with that, it is half-century up for Pakistan.

Shadley van Schalkwyk into the attack and a better over for USA this, just six from this over. USA had a difficult chance to pick Saim Ayub's wicket but fielder failed to reach near the ball.
