USA vs CAN Match Preview
The performance of Monank Patel and Steven Taylor at the beginning of the match will play a crucial role. They have been in excellent form recently, scoring 174 runs each in the last 5 matches. Additionally, Taylor is a dependable all-rounder who has taken 4 wickets.
In the middle order, Andries Gous and Aaron Jones have been consistent performers. However, all attention will be on Corey Anderson, the most experienced player in the team. His expertise will be valuable during chases or challenging situations when early wickets have been lost.
Shadley van Schalkwyk and Saurabh Netravalkar are expected to lead the bowling attack with the new ball, while Ali Khan will be the first change bowler.
The spin department will be led by Noshtush Kenjige and Harmeet Singh.
Canada emerged victorious in the 2023 ICC Americas Qualifier after defeating Bermuda, securing a spot in their first-ever T20 World Cup main event.
Aaron Johnson, the team's leading run-scorer in the Qualifiers, is expected to once again play a crucial role for Canada.
The team has placed a strong emphasis on all-rounders in their squad selection, with Nicholas Kirton, Junaid Siddiqui, Navneet Dhaliwal, and Saad bin Zafar capable of making significant contributions with both bat and ball.
Kaleem Sana and Jeremy Gordon are anticipated to spearhead the pace attack, while Nikhil Dutta will be key in the middle overs.
Despite their success, Canada's lack of experience on the international stage may pose a significant challenge for them.
