Canada won against Ireland in New York last week. Now, they’re back at the same place, hoping to surprise everyone by beating Pakistan in cricket.
They did something unexpected by batting first and winning at the tough Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. That boosted their confidence for this game. Nicholas Kirton and Shreyas Movva played well in Canada’s batting against Ireland, while Jeremy Gordon and Dilon Heyliger did great with the ball.
Pakistan wants to recover from a bad loss to the USA. They also struggled against India. They were in a good position to win but then lost by six runs.
The Pakistani team might be feeling down after a rough start in the tournament. But they have a skilled team and could still play really well against Canada.
Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, Pitch Report:
Expect clear skies in New York, but the pitch will be slow. Scoring runs might be tough because the ball will act unpredictably. Batsmen need to be careful on this pitch. The team batting first would be happy to score 180 runs. At Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, the boundaries are short but the field is slow. Hitters have struggled to connect with the ball, and the tricky pitch has surprised them in past games. Both fast bowlers and spinners have performed well, keeping the batsmen alert.
