T20 World Cup 2026 Points Table Group A update: Pakistan will face yet another must-win scenario when they take on the United States of America at the Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC) Cricket Ground in their second Group A match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup today.
Salman Agha’s men endured a huge scare in their tournament opener where they nearly made a meal of a 148-run chase against the Netherlands. From a position of 98 for two, Pakistan’s middle-order crashed to 114 for six before all-rounder Faheem Ashraf’s gutsy cameo pulled the team across the line.
Meanwhile, India pulled off a win over the United States of America despite their shoddy batting at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. With skipper Suryakumar Yadav enthralling the home crowd with a sensational 84-run knock on his World Cup captaincy debut, India eventually went onto etch a comfortable victory with a superior bowling performance.

With Pakistan agreeing to repeal their boycott of India in Colombo on Februar 15, the stakes could be high for Agha and Co. in their other group games to keep themselves on course of qualification. In a similar setting in 2024, Pakistan suffered a defeat to the USA and eventually crashed out of the tournament.
