- Shaheen Afridi, Pakistan fast bowler, will play his 100th T20I on Tuesday as Pakistan prepares to face the USA in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
- Pakistan edged the Netherlands after Faheem Ashraf’s late hitting in Colombo on Saturday to avoid a shock and prevent a poor World Cup start.

- Pakistan selectors are weighing changes as top-order inconsistency persists, considering recalling Fakhar Zaman to replace Babar Azam while Afridi must avoid another below-par outing ahead of Sunday.
- Improved USA performances and Mohammad Mohsin's warning mean Pakistan face a real threat when they meet again, with Pakistan needing to finish top two in Group A to reach the Super Eights.
