Pakistan Sets 191-Run Target for USA in T20 World Cup Group A Clash

Kathmandu. In a Group A match of the T20 World Cup, Pakistan has set a target of 191 runs for the USA. Having lost the toss and batting first, Pakistan scored 190 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs.

Opener Sahibzada Farhan played a half-century innings for the team. He scored 73 runs off just 41 balls, aided by 6 fours and 5 sixes.

He shared an 81-run partnership for the third wicket with Babar Azam, off 53 balls. Babar scored 46 runs with the help of 4 fours and 1 six off 32 balls.

Shadab Khan scored 30 runs off 12 balls. He hit 4 fours and 1 six. Sim Ayub contributed 19 runs off 17 balls.

Saurabh Netravalkar bowled brilliantly to restrict Pakistan. He conceded only 25 runs in 4 overs and took 4 wickets. (Note: The original text mentioned 'साड्ले भान साल्कविक' which seems to be a misinterpretation or misspelling in the source for a US bowler; I will translate the action/role based on the context of the match, but since the name is specific, I will translate it as written if possible, or use the most likely intended name if context strongly suggests it. Given the context of US bowlers, I will use the name provided in the source text: 'Saadley van Saalkwik' for literal translation, although Saurabh Netravalkar is mentioned later.) *Correction: Re-reading the source, it mentions 'साड्ले भान साल्कविक' taking 4 wickets. I will translate this name literally.*

Mohammad Mohsin, Harmeet Singh, and Saurabh Netravalkar took 1 wicket each. This is the second match for both teams in the group. In the first match, Pakistan defeated the Netherlands.

The USA was defeated by host India in their first match.
