Canada vs Ireland, 13th Match, Group A - Live
![]() |
When: Canada vs Ireland, June 7, 02:30 PM GMT, 10.30 AM Local, 08:00 PM IST
Where: Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York
What to expect:
Low scores and help for the bowlers, in the air and off the surface.
The ICC has taken cognisance of the pitch concerns and is actively
looking to temper the pitch and it remains to be seen if it is
successful in this endeavour. Players will experience pleasant
temperatures of about 26 degrees Celsius and captains will look to bowl
first.
Head to head: Canada 2 - 2 Ireland. Canada won the most recent clash between these sides, in 2019.
Team Watch:
Ireland
Batting
coach Gary Wilson suggested Harry Tector was fine despite copping a
bruising blow from a Jasprit Bumrah bouncer. Ross Adair is a potential
replacement if Tector doesn't pull up well. If Ireland expect the pitch
to play similar to how it did against India, they might want to drop leg
spinner Ben White for an additional seamer in Craig Young.
Probable XI:
Paul Stirling (c), Andy Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, Curtis
Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy,
Josh Little, Ben White
Canada
Canada could bring in left-arm fast bowler Rishiv Joshi for offspinner Nikhil Dutta, who conceded 41 in 2.2 overs against USA.
Probable XI:
Aaron Johnson, Navneet Dhaliwal, Pargat Singh, Nicholas Kirton, Shreyas
Movva (wk), Dilpreet Bajwa, Saad Bin Zafar (c), Dilon Heyliger, Rishiv
Joshi, Kaleem Sana, Jeremy Gordon
Did you know?
-
Ireland have won eight of their last nine men's T20Is against associate
nations, with the sole loss during that period coming against Scotland
by a margin of eight runs in July 2023
- Canada have lost each
of their last three men's T20Is when batting first but both their wins
against Ireland have come while batting first
- Saad Bin Safar
has taken at least 1 wicket in 10 of his last 11 T20I bowling innings.
The only innings he failed to do so was Canada's tournament opener
against USA this week
What they said:
"It's tough to adjust when you don't know what you have to adjust to." - Heinrich Malan, Ireland Coach, on the uncertainty offered by the pitch at the Nassau County Cricket Ground.
"This
wicket is a bit, kind of, what you can say, a tricky one. So you cannot
play some of the T20 shots. So you have to play conventional cricket.
And what I see, it's playing on the up, it's a little bit more difficult
than Dallas." - Navneet Dhaliwal, Canada batter, on his take on the pitch.
