APL 2023: Match 20, PMC vs PMP Match Prediction – Who will win today’s APL match between Premium Canadians vs Premium Paks?
Premium Canadians will face off against the Premium Paks in the 20th match of the tournament on December 29.
Premium Canadians (PMC) and Premium Paks (PMP) will lock horns in the penultimate match of the round-robin phase of the American Premier League (APL) 2023 on Friday, December 29, at the Choice Moosa Stadium in Pearland.
The Canadians are yet to win a game in APL 2023 thus far. Three of their five games were abandoned due to rain. They also lost a couple of matches and are currently placed at No. 6 on the points table, staring at elimination.
Meanwhile, the Premium Paks have one win out of six matches. The Mohammad Irfan-led side lost a couple of games while three ended with no result. The Paks are still in with a chance for a spot in the knockouts. However, they can ill-afford to lose this game.

Choice Moosa Stadium Pitch and Conditions
Scoring has been difficult at the Choice Moosa Stadium. Teams have struggled to register big scores at the venue. 172 is the highest first-innings score at the venue in APL 2023. Premium Windies put up that total against Premium Paks on Wednesday, December 27, and won by 74 runs. The lowest first-innings score was registered by Premium Aussies as they were bundled out for 40 last week. If the team that bats first, gets a total in excess of 160, it could be very challenging to hunt down.

The 20-year-old played a fine knock of 65 off just 44 balls against Premium Windies in the last game the Canadians played. Behera hit five fours and three sixes, finishing with a strike rate of 147.73. Gazhi and Co. would be hoping for another explosive start from the opener.

Ali bowled well in Paks previous game against the Windies. He finished with figures of 2/31 in his four overs, against a dangerous batting line-up.
