Pressure on Pakistan Ahead of T20 World Cup Clash, Says Mohammad Mohsin

The inspiring allrounder of the USA, Mohammad Mohsin, believes Pakistan will be under more pressure in the upcoming T20 World Cup clash. He expressed confidence in the capabilities of the USA team, saying they have the full potential to beat Pakistan in Tuesday’s fixture at Colombo.

Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Mohammad Mohsin said the team was disappointed after losing the India match, but they are ready to turn things around in the next clash against Pakistan.

"It was a tough loss, especially considering how the game was after the first 15 overs. But we focused on the positives from that match and our previous win against Pakistan. Honestly, I think the pressure is all on them," said Mohammad Mohsin.

He then said that the USA team has nothing to lose, so they are not taking any kind of pressure. He is confident that the team will move ahead in the tournament after winning the match against Pakistan.

"We don’t have anything to lose in this World Cup. We’re just enjoying the journey, and the way it has started, it looks exciting. Hopefully, tomorrow’s win will make it even better," added Mohammad Mohsin.

Meanwhile, the ICC has approved the inclusion of Pakistan-origin pacer Ehsan Adil as a replacement for Jasdeep Singh in the USA’s T20 World Cup squad. The Event Technical Committee (ETC) of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 approved the replacement after Jasdeep was ruled out of the tournament due to sustaining an injury in the right shoulder while playing a warm-up match against New Zealand on February 5.
