With the T20 World Cup set to commence, Canada find themselve in a challenging group alongside co-hosts USA, cricketing powerhouses India and Pakistan, and Ireland. The North American team faces a stern test against formidable opponents, as they aim to make a mark in their debut appearance.
The tournament opener for Canada is slated against arch-rivals USA on June 1 in Dallas, a clash that promises to ignite intense rivalry and captivate cricket enthusiasts. The fixture holds added significance following USA’s recent victory in a bilateral series between the two nations in early April, setting the stage for a compelling showdown on the T20 World Cup stage.
