Match 22 - Group A- Pakistan vs Canada (Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York)
Current Form Pakistan:
Pakistan are currently placed at the fourth position in Group A points table with 2 losses to their credit.
The top run scorer for Pakistan in the competition is Babar Azam with 57 runs to his name.
The top wicket taker for Pakistan in the competition is Haris Rauf with 4 scalps under his belt.
Pakistan have lost in an embarassing fashion to India in their last outing.
Pakistan won the toss and inserted India for a bat. Rohit Sharma looked threatening after his six off Shaheen Afridi, but both Sharma and Kohli got out within the powerplay overs. Just when things looked tough, Pant played a brilliant knock of 42 runs to give some space to India to rebuild. However, his dismissal triggered a collapse in the lower order and India were bowled out for a small total of 119. For Pakistan, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf picked up 3 wickets each.
During the chase, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan started off well and stitched a partnership of 26 runs for the first wicket before Bumrah picked up Babar. Mohammad Rizwan played well and scored 31 runs but he didn't get enough support at the other end. Wickets kept falling in regular intervals and Pakistan choked once again. Bumrah derailed the batting lineup. He picked up 3 wickets for 14 runs in his spell to win the match for India by 6 runs.
Current Form Canada:
Canada are currently placed at the 3rd position in Group A points table with 1 win and 1 loss to their credit.
The top run scorer for Canada in the World Cup is Nicholas Kirton with 100 runs to his name.
The top wicket taker for Canada in the World Cup is Dillon Heyliger with 3 scalps under his belt.
Canada have won their previous thriller of a match against Ireland by 12 runs.
Canada batted first and they posted a total of 137 for 7 in 20 overs. The start was terrible as Canada lost 4 wickets for just 53 runs. This is when Nicholas Kirton took his chance to rise up to the occasion, smashed 49 runs off 35 balls and instilled hope for a big total. The last 2 overs weren't fully capitalised by Canada as they were restricted to an under par total of 137 in 20 overs of play.
During the chase, Ireland lost both Andy Balbirnie and Paul Stirling quickly. Saad Bin Zafar bowled exceptionally well and picked up the wicket of Harry Tector to trigger a collapse in the middle order. Mark Adair played some good shots, made 34 runs and gave some hope for a chase. However, timely dismissals and disciplined bowling by Canada ensured that Ireland fell short of the target. They lost the match by 12 runs.
