This fixture is scheduled to be held at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, Texas. For Pakistan, winning this clash is absolutely vital in order to maintain their hopes of qualifying to the next round alive.

Team Analysis
Babar Azam, the Pakistani skipper is still looking for his 1st win in this World Cup. The Men In Green have numerous talented players with abundant experience but for some reason, all of the prominent names like Mohammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf have shown disappointing performances in recent T20 International. The poor form of the Pakistani players have proven costly for them and will continue to do so unless immediate action is not taken and the squad is re-defined.
The Pakistani dynamic pace trio comprising Naseem, Shaheen, and Haris made headlines in the last edition of the T20 World Cup, however, the exact pacing unit is seen to be struggling badly with an expensive economy and zero dismissals. Similarly, the chronic Pakistan’s weakness of the middle order failing to step up is still there. The collapse-prone middle-order becomes the reason for Pakistan’s failure in most of the encounters as the men in green often find themselves all bowled out, even in this short format of game.
The young Canadian team is looking for experience and improvement strategies in this World Cup. The in-form Canadian players, Nicholas Kriton and the wicket-keeper batsman, Shreyas Movva are expected to display their clinical batting abilities and propel their team towards victory. Provided that Kaleem Sana and Dillon Heyliger produce quick dismissals for their team, Canada can prove to be a real challenge for Pakistan.
Match Insights
The Pakistani team is undergoing their worst phase ever as they lost to the USA in their opening match. That encounter can be labeled as one of the biggest upsets in the T20 World Cup history as the last T20 World Cup runners-up were unable to establish a win over the relatively inexperienced and younger team. It is high time for Babar Azam and his team to tighten the reins on their ship and improve their performances in the remaining matches if they wish to qualify for Super 8. The Canadian team is well-prepared to take on the Pakistani challenge and we won’t be surprised if another upset in the T20 World Cup will take place in this encounter.
