USA have won their previous match against Pakistan in a Super Over.
Pakistan batted first and they posted a total of 159 for 7 in 20 overs. Mohammad Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman and Usman Khan got out within the powerplay overs and Pakistan looked to be in all sorts of bother. Shadab Khan then played a sublime knock of 40 runs in 25 balls to keep things afloat. Babar Azam too contributed and made 44, but he consumed 43 deliveries in doing so. It cost the team dearly as Pakistan were restricted to an under par total of 159 in 20 overs of play.
During the chase, USA lost Steven Taylor early on but Monank Patel and Andries Gous took the responsibility of taking their team over the line. They smashed 50 and 35 runs respectively to instill hope for a successful chase. They got super close but only managed to tie the match.

India have won their previous thriller of a match against Pakistan by 6 runs.
Pakistan won the toss and inserted India for a bat. Rohit Sharma looked threatening after his six off Shaheen Afridi, but both Sharma and Kohli got out within the powerplay overs. Just when things looked tough, Pant played a brilliant knock of 42 runs to give some space to India to rebuild. However, his dismissal triggered a collapse in the lower order and India were bowled out for a small total of 119. For Pakistan, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf picked up 3 wickets each.
During the chase, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan started off well and stitched a partnership of 26 runs for the first wicket before Bumrah picked up Babar. Mohammad Rizwan played well and scored 31 runs but he didn't get enough support at the other end. Wickets kept falling in regular intervals and Pakistan choked once again. Bumrah derailed the batting lineup. He picked up 3 wickets for 14 runs in his spell to win the match for India by 6 runs.
