T20 World Cup 2024: Pakistan Vs Canada - Team News And Predicted Lineup

Pakistan will face Canada in their third group stage match on Tuesday, June 11, at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York. After suffering defeats in their first two matches, Pakistan is under significant pressure to secure a victory. Conversely, Canada has two points from two matches and a win could be crucial for their Super Eights aspirations.

Pakistan's losses came in close encounters against the USA and India. In the match against the USA, they faltered in the Super Over, while against India, they were on track to win until they collapsed after 14 overs.

Pakistan made changes for the match against India, dropping Azam Khan and bringing in Imad Wasim. However, Wasim struggled with running while batting and is likely to be replaced by Abrar Ahmed. Additionally, Haris Rauf may be dropped in favour of young batter Saim Ayub.

Canada secured a victory over Ireland in their last match and are expected to field the same team against Pakistan. They have no injury concerns and are set to present a strong squad.

Pakistan Probable XI: Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Babar Azam (c), Saim Ayub, Fakhar Zaman, Usman Khan, Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shaheen Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir

Canada Probable XI: Aaron Johnson, Navneet Dhaliwal, Pargat Singh, Nicholas Kirton, Shreysa Movva (wk), Dilpreet Bajwa, Saad Bin Zafar (c), Dillon Heyliger, Kaleem Sana, Junaid Siddiqui, Jeremy Gordon

The upcoming match is critical for both teams. Pakistan needs a win to stay in contention for the Super Eights, while Canada aims to strengthen their position with another victory.
