PAK vs USA Live: What is USA doing?
10/02/2026 21:27
One over they get a boundary, and the next, they get none. That is not how USA can chase this down. They need to be hitting consistently out of the park to be in the match.
PAK vs USA Live: Hopes alive
10/02/2026 21:18
A good over coming USA's way. 10 runs. Oh, just as we said this, Nawaz has removed Gous for 13. They need runs quick.

10/02/2026 20:26
Can Pakistan go on to score 180? The pitch is not the best and there is help for batters until the ball is new. USA will have to make the most of the first few overs.

PAK vs USA Live: 100 up
10/02/2026 19:57
Pakistan are clearly ahead at the moment. Babar is a liability, But Farhan is going great guns. USA need wickets here, at least Farhan has to go.
PAK vs USA Live: 50
10/02/2026 19:49
50 up for Sahibzada Farhan in only 27 deliveries. He has played really well here. Four fours and as many sixes.
PAK vs USA Live: Spin change
10/02/2026 19:40
Harmeet Singh comes into the attack now. Babar Azam needs to stay; actually that would be in the interest of USA. His strike-rate at least won't go out of hand.
PAK vs USA Live: OUT
10/02/2026 19:27
Van Schalkwyk has a wicket, as he dismisses dangerous Saim Ayub. Netravalkar takes a catch. Wait there is a twist in the tale. Salman Ali is dismissed for 1 in the same over. Out caught.

PAK vs USA Live: Ehsan Adil now
10/02/2026 19:12
Ehsan Adil makes his USA debut. Mind you, he has played ODIs and Tests for Pakistan. Two boundaries come from the over. Three fours in the end.
PAK vs USA Live: Netravalkar starts
10/02/2026 19:07
As ususal, Saurabh Netravalkar starts, and starts with two dots. Saim Ayub needs to be contained here. There is a shout for an LBW, but he survives.
PAK vs USA Live: National anthems
10/02/2026 18:53
It is time for national anthems of both the teams. Pakistan needs revenge from 2024. That was a near-perfect match that USA played.
PAK vs USA Live: No chance
10/02/2026 18:48
Usman Tariq has been brought in by Pakistan, that means they are a worried lot and don't want to take a chance in this match.

10/02/2026 18:34
USA's Monank Patel has won the toss and opted to bowl first. Strange decision though, Pakistan should be happy.
PAK vs USA Live: Perfect XI
10/02/2026 18:22
Pakistan has kept Shaheen out of the XI for now, which has worked well for them. Maybe, they are preserving him for the India clash. But bowling is one department that looks sorted.
PAK vs USA Live: Toss soon
10/02/2026 18:13
Colombo should be a difficult place to bat. Dew could come into play as well. So it will only be best for USA to bat first, if they get the chance.
PAK vs USA Live: Dangerous Pakistan
10/02/2026 18:04
Salman Ali Agha's team must be wounded after the last encounter where they were stretched to the last over. Must be looking to come up with a much better performance now.
PAK vs USA Live: Big contest
10/02/2026 18:01
It is time for the big game now. Actually whenever Pakistan plays, it is big, because of how unpredictable they are. They lost to USA last time around, play the same team now.
