190/9: This is Pakistan's highest score against the USA, surpassing their former record of 159/7, achieved in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
73: The standout performance by Sahibzada Farhan, who scored 73, is now the highest individual score by any Pakistani player against the USA. This eclipses Babar Azam's previous top score of 44 during the 2024 T20 World Cup in Grand Prairie.

16: In this match, Pakistan's spinners bowled a total of 16 overs. This marks the second instance where spinners have bowled 16 or more overs in a T20I innings for Pakistan; the first was against Australia in Colombo in 2012 when they bowled 18 overs.
5: During the powerplay, Pakistan's batters hit 5 sixes, marking the highest number of sixes hit by them in this phase across all T20 internationals.
After being put in to bat, Pakistan set a competitive target of 190/9, thanks to Farhan’s explosive batting and a pivotal third-wicket partnership with captain Babar Azam. The USA, despite valiant efforts from Shayan Jahangir and Shubham Ranjane, fell short, finishing their innings at 158/8.
