Preview
Pakistan will compete against Canada in the Group A match of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Following an upset against the USA, the Pakistan cricket team are under pressure to bring their tournament campaign back on track with better performances in the remaining matches. Meanwhile, Canada registered their first win in T20 World Cup history after defeating Ireland in their previous match, which will give them the confidence to replicate the heroics of the USA against their upcoming opponents Pakistan.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium are steadily improving as the T20 World Cup 2024 has gone on, but still, it is quite hard for the batters to assert themselves on the proceedings unless the bowlers execute their plans terribly. In the history of the T20I format, the average first innings total at this venue is 103 after four matches, which still won’t be enough for either Pakistan or Canada to defend in their upcoming fixture.
Team Analysis
Pakistan
The batting lineup of Pakistan is quite reliant on their captain Babar Azam to bat for long periods, allowing the rest of the batting lineup to accelerate the scoring rate around him, but this strategy isn’t being executed to the max for quite some time. The bowling attack, including the likes of Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Imad Wasim is the stronger suit for Pakistan in the shortest format of the game, but they aren’t quite at their best as a group in their recent run of T20I matches.

Canada
Navneet Dhaliwal, Nicholas Kirton, and Shreyas Movva have been three of the standout batters for Canada in their first couple of matches in the T20 World Cup 2024, scoring runs on two contrasting pitches in Dallas and New York. In the bowling side of things, Dilon Heyliger, Saad Bin Zafar, and Jeremy Gordon have delivered impactful performances for Canada, helping the team register their first win in the tournament history against Ireland in their previous match.

Conclusion
Although Pakistan are not quite at their best in the T20 World Cup 2024, they still have a lot of quality players at their disposal to get the better of Canada in their next match in the tournament.
