Preview: After two games played by every side in Group A, the table is beginning to take shape. It does not, however, make for pleasant reading for Pakistan and Ireland, the two sides that have yet to score a point!
The USA, who are competing in their first T20 World Cup, were not supposed to be in the Super Eights after two matches, even with the added advantage of being co-hosts. Canada, in third place, is also hitting above average.
It was unexpected that Canada defeated Ireland, but the biggest surprise in international cricket history may have been Pakistan’s defeat by the United States. But Canada’s victory in this match will surpass them all.
T20 World Cup 2024, 22nd Match, PAK vs CAN
Venue: Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York
Date & Time: Tuesday, June 11, 8:00 PM
Pitch Report: This surface has improved since it was first installed prior to the competition, although the ball continues to do things it shouldn’t, such as springing up from a length and shooting through on occasion. In addition, the outfield is both sluggish and long, so expect an above-average quantity of threes and fewer boundaries than usual! Whoever bats first has a great chance of winning if they score 140.
PROBABLE PLAYING XI
Pakistan (PAK): Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Usman Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir, Haris Rauf
