Team Analysis
The new and inexperienced USA team made headlines recently due to their epic win against Bangladesh in a 3-match T20 series. Although the US team is relatively new to the pressure and drama that comes with the T20 World Cup, other teams should look out for the US bowling line-up that possesses the potential to turn over the game in a matter of few deliveries.
The bowling all-rounder Harmeet Singh appears to be quite in form and might prove to be a real challenge for the Canadian batsmen. Other potential impact players in the American squad are Coorey Anderson, Monank Patel, and Ali Khan.
The Canadian team also appears to be in high spirits for the debut of their T20 World Cup journey. A number of potentially destructive batters can be highlighted in the Canadian squad that are expected to provide a kickstart to the Canadian batting innings. This includes their skipper, Saad bin Zafar. The 37-year-old batsman showcased his batting talents in the recent bilateral series against the US, despite his efforts going in vain.
Match Insights
Both of the clashing teams are inexperienced and unfamiliar with the pressure and fans expectations that accompany this tournament. This is the primary reason why any prediction regarding the outcome of this match can’t be made. However, the US team has a clear advantage as they whitewashed Canada in the recent bilateral T20 series played in April.
Moreover, the Grand Prairie pitch is a batting surface and the team who wins the toss and opts to bat first might enjoy the advantage of setting a difficult target on the scoreboard. The US team is also favorable as winners as they have a home-crowd advantage that is likely to play a pivotal role in this match.
Conclusion
The ICC World Cup’s opening match has cricket fans on the edge of their seats from exhilaration and excitement. If you’re one of these fans, don’t miss out on this potentially exciting match between the two neighboring nations. Click on the link provided above to watch USA vs Canada Live Streaming.
