The underdog USA is optimistic about causing an upset and believes that a solid performance could give them the edge over the strong Pakistan team. Despite being a diverse team, including players from various backgrounds, unity is their focus when representing the USA.
Team Green is determined to start the tournament on a positive note after a mixed run in recent series. The match will take place in Dallas, where the pitch has seen high-scoring games, and the weather is expected to be clear and sunny.
This will mark the first encounter between the two teams in any format of cricket. Pakistan may consider making changes to their lineup, possibly dropping Shadab Khan for a four-man seam attack and replacing Azam Khan with Saim Ayub. Meanwhile, the USA is likely to maintain the same XI that secured victory against Canada.
