After surviving a major scare against a resurgent Netherlands team, Pakistan has another challenge in front of them in the form of the USA. The American side gave India run for their money in the opening contest, and will be oozing with confidence after that performance.

Pakistan came into the marquee event as dark horses, as the team will play all its games in Sri Lanka, and the pitches there will support their style of play. They were the firm favourites against the Dutch side, and while the Pakistan bowlers delivered the goods, it was the batting that let them down.

The Orange Army posted 147 and Pakistan was expected to win the contest before disaster struck. The team lost the plot in the middle-overs before Faheem Ashraf became the unlikely hero and snatched the game from the jaws of defeat.

On the other hand, India was expected to score 300 against the USA, but their bowlers made sure Indian batters were kept on their toes before Suryakumar Yadav bailed the team out of a tricky situation.

The USA will fancy its chances against Pakistan, and ahead of the marquee event, we take a look at the Sinhalese Sports Club weather and pitch report - the venue where the contest will be played.

(Sinhalese Sports Club, T20I stats)

So far, only 4 matches have been played at the Sinhalese Sports Club Ground, and it has been more loyal towards the bowlers as batters have found scoring a tricky prospect. In this World Cup, two matches have been played, and in both contests, batters have found it difficult to get going.

As witnessed in the Pakistan vs Netherlands and Zimbabwe vs Oman clash, the seamers have enjoyed bowling in the power play as the pitches have suited their bowling. Expect the trend to continue in the USA Vs Pakistan clash on Tuesday.

In the World Cup, there has been a trend that spinners come into play in the second innings, as stroke-making becomes difficult and the two matches have not witnessed high-scoring contests. Expect the same pattern to continue with both sides boasting quality spinners.

(Colombo weather as per Accuweather)

According to Accuweather, the average temperature on Tuesday evening will be around 25 degrees Celsius, and the humidity will be around 63%. Fortunately for the fans, the probability of precipitation will be around 1%, but there will be hundred percent cloud cover, which would assist the seamers.

Cloud cover will help the pacers to get some seam movement in the early going, and this would challenge the skills of batters from both sides.

Conclusion

Rain god won’t hamper the Pakistan vs USA contest in Colombo, but there will be enough cloud cover to keep the pacers interested. Also, as per the trend in the tournament, spinners will come into play in the second innings, making batters’ lives a bit difficult.
