Sinhalese Sports Club Ground Pitch Report
Sinhalese Sports Club Ground, Colombo
The SSC pitch report Colombo provides a balanced surface, assisting both batters and bowlers. Early on, stroke-makers can capitalize on the flat surface and consistent bounce, making the powerplay a critical scoring window. Reports suggest slightly more grass this year, offering extra carry for seamers with the new ball. As the match progresses, the pitch slows down, giving spinners the chance to exploit turn and variable bounce. Batters who time the ball well early will set the tone, but bowling depth could prove decisive in the middle overs.
Weather Report
Weather Report in Colombo on February 10 are expected to peak between 31°C and 33°C, with high humidity creating a “RealFeel” around 36°C–37°C. Evening conditions will cool to 22°C–24°C, slightly aiding bowlers under lights. The forecast predicts partly cloudy skies with only a 6% chance of rain, meaning weather is unlikely to interfere. Dew may make the ball slightly slippery later, which could help batters chasing a target in the second innings.

Pakistan vs USA Team Preview & Squads
Pakistan
Salman Agha brings leadership and all-round firepower. His ability to stabilize innings while contributing with both bat and ball is pivotal in high-pressure T20 scenarios.
Pakistan’s batting revolves around Babar Azam and Sahibzada Farhan, offering both consistency and the capacity for explosive starts. Middle-order depth ensures that even early wickets may not derail the innings.
The bowling attack blends pace and spin effectively. Shaheen Shah Afridi leads the pace attack with wicket-taking ability, while Mohammad Nawaz and Salman Agha provide crucial spin and all-round balance, ideal for SSC conditions.

United States of America
Monank Patel’s calm presence anchors the batting lineup. His strategy of pacing the innings and guiding younger batters like Aaron Jones is central to USA’s competitiveness.
USA relies on Monank Patel and Aaron Jones to construct innings. While they have individual match-winners, the middle order can be vulnerable against disciplined bowling. Chasing 180+ could test their consistency at SSC.
Milind Kumar and Saurabh Netravalkar lead the bowling charge, with Harmeet Singh adding all-round options. Spin will play a key role in containing Pakistan’s middle overs, but their seam attack may face challenges early on the grassier pitch.
