Highlights:

Pakistan to take on Canada in match 22 of T20 World Cup 2024.

The former champions lost both of their previous games.

Canada are coming off a win against Ireland.

Babar Azam-led Pakistan cricket team is in a must-win situation for the remainder of two matches. They will be taking on Saad Bin Zafar's Canada in match 21 of the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup 2024 which will be played at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, on June 11 (Tuesday). The Men in Green suffered two straight loses and each game is an eliminator from here on. The pressure is high on them as just winning won't do it for them, they need to get these victories by a huge margin to get their net run rate better than the USA. On the other hand, Canada would try to pull off an upset and stay alive in the qualification race for Super 8.

 

Head-to-Head

 

Both teams have only faced each other once in T20Is and Pakistan came out victorious on that occasion.

 

Pitch Report

 

The pitch will be favouring the bowlers, especially the pacers and the slow outfield will only make scoring runs more difficult. It is unlikely to be a high-scoring game. It is the same venue as the IND vs PAK and SA vs BAN games.

 

Weather Report


The weather forecasts predict rain and it can play spoilsport during the match and might interrupt match proceedings on a couple of occasions.
