The hosts United States will square off against Pakistan in the 11th match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at the Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas on Thursday. The USA won their opening match of the competition against Canada by seven wickets as they were able to chase down 195 with seven wickets and 14 balls to spare.
