Pakistan will square off against Canada in the 22nd match of the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York on Tuesday. While Pakistan are staring down the barrel as they have lost both of their matches, Canada has won one and lost one.
The Babar Azam-led team was in a shoo-in position against India as they had to chase down only 120 runs for the victory. However, their batters could not deliver as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and played a lot of dot balls, which put them under pressure.
Canada, on the other hand, registered a 12-run win against Ireland after suffering a seven-wicket loss against the USA.
