Pakistan vs Canada, 22nd Match, Group A - Live

When: Tuesday, June 11, 10:30 AM (Local Time), 8:00 PM (IST)

Where: Pakistan vs Canada, Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York


What to expect: Run scoring has been extremely difficult at the Nassau County ground, and it's expected to be another low-scoring encounter. It is expected to be slightly cloudly as well, but no rain is predicted.

Head to head: Pakistan 1 - 0 Canada

Team Watch:



Pakistan: Babar Azam's side may stick to a similar combination, but could be tempted to bring in Azam Khan or Saim Ayub in place of Usman Khan

Tactics & Matchups: Aaron Johnson has been explosive in the Powerplay, especially against the left-arm pacers. Naseem Shah could hold the key as Pakistan will look to get him out early. In what is expected to be a low-scoring encounter, the duration of Johnson's stay in the middle could prove decisive.


Probable XI: Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmad, Imad Wasim/Azam Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Amir

Canada: At the back of their historic win, the team from North America might prefer to go unchanged.


Tactics & Matchups: Even as the conditions have aided pacers, the likes of Babar Azam, Azam Khan, Saim Ayub and Imad Wasim haven't enjoyed playing spinners either, striking at less than 125 in T20Is since January 2022.

Probable XI: Aaron Johnson, Navneet Dhaliwal, Pargat Singh, Dilpreet Bajwa, Nicholas Kirton, Shreyas Movva, Dillon Heylinger, Saad bin Zafar, Junai Siddiqui, Kaleem Sana, Jeremy Gordon


Did you know?

Pakistan's Powerplay run-rate of 5.41 is currently the lowest among the 20 teams in the T20 WC 2024

Aaron Johnson has had a strike rate of 147.40 in the Powerplay in T20Is since the last T20 World Cup. In comparison, Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan have had strike rates of 132.03 and 121.43 respectively in this period

What they said:

Bouncing back from the first game was important. Trust me, it wasn't that easy... Very good to get our first win in the WC. Hopefully we can continue from strength to strength. Our next focus is Pakistan - Nicholas Kirton, following Canada's win against Ireland

As a batting unit, you can't lose as many wickets as we are losing. Players have got to take responsibility when that opportunity comes - Gary Kirsten after Pakistan's loss against India

Canada Squad: Aaron Johnson, Navneet Dhaliwal, Pargat Singh, Dilpreet Bajwa, Nicholas Kirton, Shreyas Movva(w), Dillon Heyliger, Saad Bin Zafar(c), Junaid Siddiqui, Kaleem Sana, Jeremy Gordon, Nikhil Dutta, Rishiv Ragav Joshi, Rayyan Pathan, Ravinderpal Singh
