The iconic Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) in Colombo witnessed a cricketing masterclass today as Pakistan<\/strong> secured a commanding 32-run victory over the United States of America<\/strong> in the 12th Match of Group A at the ICC Men\u2019s T20 World Cup 2026<\/a><\/strong>. While the USA entered the contest with high hopes of an upset, they were ultimately undone by a spectacular batting display from Sahibzada Farhan<\/strong> and a clinical, multifaceted bowling performance from the Men in Green.<\/p>\n Electing to set a target, Pakistan\u2019s innings was defined by the explosive blade of Farhan. Opening the batting, Farhan turned the SSC into his personal playground, smashing a blistering 73 off just 41 deliveries. His innings, decorated with seven boundaries and five towering sixes, provided the backbone of the Pakistani total.<\/p>\n The powerplay started with intent as Farhan and Saim Ayub<\/strong> (19) put on 54 for the first wicket. However, the USA clawed back momentarily when Shadley van Schalkwyk<\/strong>, the pick of the American bowlers with figures of 4\/25 dismissed Ayub and Salman Agha<\/strong> in quick succession during the sixth over.<\/p>\n Despite the double blow, the legendary Babar Azam<\/strong> anchored the middle overs with a composed 46 off 32 balls. His partnership with Farhan shifted the momentum back to Pakistan, punishing anything short or wide. While the lower order suffered a minor collapse in the final overs due to Van Schalkwyk\u2019s clever variations, the damage had been done. Pakistan finished their 20 overs at a daunting 190\/9, a total that demanded a record-breaking chase from the associate nation.<\/p>\n In response, the United States began their chase with cautious optimism. The scorecard reflected a solid start, reaching the 50-run mark in just 5.5 overs. Shayan Jahangir<\/strong> was the standout performer for the Americans, playing a fighting knock of 49. However, the introduction of Pakistan\u2019s spin arsenal completely shifted the match flow.<\/p>\n Usman Tariq<\/strong> emerged as the silent assassin of the evening, dismantling the USA middle order with precision. Tariq finished with stellar figures of 3\/27, claiming the crucial wickets of Milind Kumar<\/strong> and Harmeet Singh<\/strong> just as they threatened to accelerate. He was ably supported by the experienced Shadab Khan<\/strong>, whose 2\/26 tightened the screws during the middle periods, accounting for the dangerous Monank Patel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Though Shubham Ranjane<\/strong> struck a late, defiant 51 off 30 balls to keep the USA\u2019s slim hopes alive, the mountain was simply too high to climb. Shaheen Shah<\/strong> <\/a>Afridi<\/a> <\/strong>provided the final exclamation point, trapping Ranjane LBW in the penultimate over to end any lingering drama. USA finished on 158\/8, falling 32 runs short of the target. With this victory, Pakistan solidifies its position in Group A, leaving the USA to regroup before their next outing against India<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Also WATCH: Babar Azam denied fifty as Milind Kumar pulls off a stunning diving catch in PAK vs USA clash<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n USA lose by 32 runs \ud83e\udd72#cricket<\/a> #PAKvUSA<\/a> #T20WorldCup<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/pQymWjIlyI<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 CricketTimes.com (@CricketTimesHQ) February 10, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf0\ud83d\udd25 **Pakistan put on a complete show!** \ud83d\udd25\ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf0<\/p>\n PAK 190\/9 \u2014 Ali (@shahrokh_ali) February 10, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Pakistan secure a clinical 32-run victory over the USA\ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf0\ud83d\udd25 \u2014 Sri Lanka Tweet \ud83c\uddf1\ud83c\uddf0 (@SriLankaTweet) February 10, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \ud83d\udc4f Well played!
