T20 World Cup 2024: Pakistan To Face Canada In Crucial Match

Published: Tuesday, June 11, 2024, 08:51 [GST]

Pakistan will face Canada in their third match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Tuesday, June 11. The match, which is the 22nd of the tournament, will commence at 8:00 PM IST.

Pakistan finds itself in a precarious position after losing its first game. The team needs to secure a win and hope for favourable outcomes in other matches to improve their Net Run Rate (NRR).

Canada, on the other hand, lost their first game against the USA but rebounded with a victory over Ireland. Buoyed by this win, Canada is keen to replicate their neighbours' success against Pakistan and make Group A's points table more competitive.
