Pakistan vs Canada T20 World Cup 2024
In the T20 World Cup 2024 match between Pakistan and Canada, Pakistan won by seven wickets. Mohammad Rizwan scored fifty runs at the right time, and Babar Azam led the team with a strong performance as the captain. This victory came after Pakistan faced two consecutive defeats, boosting their chances of advancing to the Super Eight stage of the tournament.
Pakistan is currently third in Group A with two points, earned from one win out of three matches. If Ireland defeats the United States and then loses to Pakistan, Pakistan could secure a spot in the top two. On the other hand, Canada, also with two points, needs to defeat India to stay in contention for the top two positions.
During the match, Aaron Johnson scored 52 runs for Canada, but Pakistan’s pace attack, led by Mohammad Amir and Haris Rauf, restricted Canada’s batting performance. With only three Canadian batsmen reaching double digits, Canada struggled to reach a total of 106-7.
In response, Pakistan had a shaky start, losing Saim Ayub early. However, Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam steadied the innings, carefully building the partnership. Despite Azam’s dismissal, Pakistan comfortably chased down the target with 15 balls to spare.
The match was played at a temporary stadium in East Meadow, where low-scoring matches have been common recently. However, Pakistan’s controlled batting ensured their victory in this crucial encounter.
