USA vs PAK Team Previews
USA
The United States of America had a few elements to prove against Canada and did exactly that. The victory has afforded them a lot of momentum ahead of this fixture against significantly stronger opposition. The tournament co-hosts could cause an upset here.
Aaron Jones and Andries Gous were the backbone of the USA's successful chase of a challenging 195-run target. Jones hit 94 not out and Gous 65. Both should be key again, as is the case with Corey Anderson below them in the order and Monank Patel above.
It is a powerful USA batting order Pakistan will need to outdo, but the opposition bowlers should pose a chunky threat as well. Ali Khan is bowling with good pace and Harmeet Singh could turn out to be one of the best left-arm spinners in the tournament. Anderson, of course, has experience bowling at major International Cricket Council tournaments with New Zealand previously.
USA Playing 11
Steven Taylor, Monank Patel, Andries Gous, Aaron Jones, Nitish Kumar, Corey Anderson, Harmeet Singh, Nosthush Kenjige, Saurabh Netravalkar, Ali Khan, Jasdeep Singh.
Pakistan
Pakistan won the 2009 edition of the T20 World Cup and have been chasing a second title since. This is their opportunity to get the 2024 campaign off to a good start. They have opted for quite a pace-heavy squad, which could see them play to their bowling strengths against the USA.
Haris Rauf had been sidelined for an extended period due to injury, but has since returned to competitive cricket. Mohammad Amir and Shaheen Afridi are also among the pace stocks. And you won't find many better spinning all-rounders than Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim.
Batting-wise, well, Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam are the most prolific T20I batters lately. They're both right up there in the ICC's rankings for T20I batters. The duo could really get on top of the USA bowling attack quickly, but conditions are going to have a say as well.
Pakistan Playing 11
Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Usman Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Azam Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir, Haris Rauf.

Bonus Cricket Bets
Bet on the United States of America to win the toss at this venue again. There is a 50 percent chance of this happening. If they do win the toss, the USA will likely choose to bowl first.
The ICC currently rank Azam the fourth-best batter in men's T20I cricket. He has scored three half-centuries in his last six T20Is.
Rauf is not just a seamer - he is an outright fast bowler and has taken almost 100 wickets in T20I cricket. Conditions in Dallas could play right into his hands.
Khan has global experience in the Caribbean Premier League, Pakistan Super League and others. He is averaging more than a wicket per T20I and will be tasked with inspiring the USA bowling attack to outdo Pakistan. Anticipate a big performance from this bowler with big match temperament.
Jones' near century against Canada was truly impressive. Look forward to another big knock from this hot talent. He knows how to bat well in these Dallas conditions.
