Pakistan Seeks Redemption Against Canada In T20 World Cup 2024 Clash

In Group A clash, Pakistan look to stay alive in the T20 World Cup 2024 when they take on Canada in match 22 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Tuesday (June 11).

Babar Azam-led Pakistan will look to bounce back from two successive losses, having lost to USA and India in the two outings so far, while Saad Bin Zafar's Canada will look to make it two wins on the trot after rebounding from an opening game loss to USA with victory over Ireland.

In the most recent outing, Pakistan failed to chase down 120 against India at the same venue in New York, where Canada successfully defended 137 against Ireland earlier last week.

With India and USA finely poised in Group A, both Canada and Pakistan will aim for wins by huge margins to keep their slim chances of a Super 8 spot alive when they clash for only the second time in the shortest format.

While they clash for the second time in T20 format, Canada and Pakistan will meet for the first time at the New York venue, which has produced low-scoring games. Here is a look at the head-to-head numbers of CAN vs PAK:

In the one CAN vs PAK head-to-head meeting in T20Is, Pakistan has the edge, having beaten Canada in a one-off match back in 2008 at the Maple Leaf North-West Ground in King City, where Shoaib Malik-led side defended 137 by bundling out the opposition for 102.

Pakistan and Canada will face off for the first time at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, a venue which has been temporarily built to stage the T20 World Cup 2024 matches. Pakistan has experience playing at the venue, where they have won 2 in 2.
