Canada (CAN) and Ireland (IRE) will lock horns in the 13th game of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, which is now crucial after Pakistan’s loss to USA. Both Canada and Ireland are yet to open their accounts and would be eager to get on the winning track in this game. The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York will host this game.

Canada lost their first game against USA by seven wickets after being in a dominant situation. They’ll like to rectify that in this game. Their batters looked in good form in that match.

There is room for improvement in the fielding department and the bowlers too need to be disciplined with their lines and lengths, especially on the pitch in New York. The likes of Saad Bin Zafar, Navneet Dhaliwal, Nicholas Kirton & Nikhil Dutta must be at their best if Canada is to win this game.

Ireland, meanwhile, had a forgettable start to the tournament as they were bundled out for just 96 runs in the first game against India. Despite that, they’ll be the strong favourites to win this game. They have the bowling attack to trouble any team and the pitch here in New York hasn’t been the best of friends for the batters.

Paul Stirling and Andy Balbirnie must get off to a good start on a very challenging pitch where 120-130 feels like a winning total. Mark Adair, Josh Little, Curtis Campher, Barry McCarthy and even Ben White will be the key players with the ball for their side.
