Pacer Amir bagged two scalps and leaked 13 runs while pacer Haris Rauf picked up a brace of wickets in one over to complete a major landmark. The speedster became the quickest Pakistan fast bowler to complete 100 wickets in the shortest format. After Canada suffered a batting collapse, opener Johnson smashed 52 off 44 balls to help his side post 106-7 in 20 overs.
Scarred by Rohit Sharma’s Team India at the grandest stage, Babar Azam’s Pakistan recorded a comfortable win over Canada in match No.22 of the ICC event on Tuesday. Winless Pakistan thrashed Canada by seven wickets at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Mohammad Rizwan remained unbeaten on 52 (52) while skipper Babar scored 33 in Pakistan’s first win of the 2024 T20 World Cup. Pacer Amir was named the Player of the Match.
Earlier, India extended Pakistan’s winless run in the marquee game by outclassing its arch-rivals in the marquee game at the 34,000-seater Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. In a contest where a 22-yard pitch was the major talking point, the Indian bowling unit, spearheaded by speedster Jasprit Bumrah handed Pakistan a sucker punch with a six-run defeat in the Group A showdown. While Rohit and Co. are tipped to top the group, a crestfallen Pakistan side is facing a premature exit from the T20 World Cup.
Before India’s meeting with Pakistan at the T20 World Cup, fans and followers of the Green Army observed a ‘black day’ as Babar and Co. were upstaged by co-hosts USA in a Super-Over thriller. The outcome of the Super Over encounter saw USA pull off one of the biggest upsets in the history of the World Cup. The co-hosts kickstarted their campaign with a win over Canada, who are also fighting with Pakistan for a place in the Super Eight stage of the ICC event.
After their seven-wicket defeat at the hands of the USA, the Canadian side led by Saad Bin Zafar overpowered Ireland by 12 runs in New York. Shreyas Movva and Nicholas Kirton played crucial knocks while Jeremy Gordon and Dillon Heyliger shared four wickets in the famous win. Group leaders India are followed by the USA while Pakistan are placed third on the points table of the ICC event.
T20 World Cup: How Pakistan can qualify with India from Group A
India will meet USA and Canada in its remaining games. Rohit and Co. are tipped to top Group A while Pakistan can finish second after back-to-back defeats. To remain in the hunt, Pakistan will have to beat Ireland after the win over Canada. Since Pakistan can bridge the Net-Run-Rate gap with massive wins, the Green Army would require USA to register defeats in their remaining games. If Pakistan win its final game and USA record back-to-back defeats (with a total of 18 runs), Babar and Co. can join India from Group A for the Super Eight stage.

Pakistan vs Canada Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: PAK vs CAN – What Gary Kirsten said about Pakistan’s flop show in T20 World Cup
Pakistan vs Canada Live Score, T20 World Cup 2024: PAK vs CAN – Head coach Gary Kirsten knows how Pakistan can bounce back at the T20 World Cup. Under his watch, Pakistan recorded its second straight narrow defeat at the T20 World Cup. Pakistan are now in a do-or-die clash with Canada. “Some maybe not-so-great decision making when you’ve got the game on, it’s (at) a run-a-ball, eight wickets in hand, (it was) decision making at that point and that’s the game. I think we had the game at 76/2, with six or seven overs left at that point, so (it’s) disappointing not to get across the line from the position we got ourselves into.”
