Former Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Asif believes the national team will lose to the United States of America again in the 2026 T20 World Cup.
The men in green suffered a shock loss to the USA in the 2024 T20 World Cup and subsequently ended up being knocked out in the group stage.
Given the way the team has been playing lately, Asif doesn’t see any reason why the USA can’t take them down in the next T20 World Cup, which will be held in India and Sri Lanka.
“We lost to the USA, who are playing in the T20 World Cup for the first time. They didn’t even qualify, they played because they were the hosts. The way the situation is going at this moment, the USA will beat Pakistan in the next World Cup, in 2026. I’ll guarantee you that,” he was quoted as saying by Cricket Pakistan.
Pakistan recently took on Bangladesh in a two-match Test series, but were whitewashed 2-0 even though they played both matches on home soil in Rawalpindi.
Pakistan Squad for Bangladesh Test Series: Shan Masood (captain), Saud Shakeel (vice-captain), Aamer Jamal, Abdullah Shafique, Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Kamran Ghulam, Khurram Shahzad, Mir Hamza, Mohammad Ali, Muhammad Hurraira, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Naseem Shah, Saim Ayub, Salman Ali Agha, Sarfaraz Ahmed (wicketkeeper), Shaheen Shah Afridi
