Pakistan to start T20 World Cup 2024 campaign with USA clash
The Pakistan team will comepete against the hosts United States in their opening clash of the T20 World Cup 2024 campaign. It will be an important game for both teams. USA will be really confident after their series win against Bangladesh and a win against Canada in their opening clash. They would try to bank on this confident and grab another win here, which could potentially bring them closer to the Super 8 stage. On the contrary, Pakistan would be eyeing to make a comeback after losing the T20I series against England. They will face their arch-rivals India after this clash and would like to enter that competition with a win in their hand.
Pakistan Squad: Babar Azam (c), Abrar Ahmed, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Abbas Afridi, Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Rizwan, Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Usman Khan
