T20 World Cup 2024: Match 13, CAN vs IRE Match Preview: Head to Head records, pitch report and more

Canada put up a strong fight against USA in the opening game of the T20 World Cup 2024 but failed to get over the line. Their batters, particularly Navneet Dhaliwal and Nicholas Kirton, looked good as they hit a half-century each, which helped the team post 194 runs in the first innings. However, the bowlers let them down as they couldn’t defend the total. Despite the loss, the Saad Bin Zafar-led side would be confident of bouncing back in their upcoming game against Ireland on June 7 at Nassau County Cricket Stadium in New York.

Ireland, meanwhile, have things to worry about as their batters struggled to get going against India in the last match and need to improve massively to pick up a win against Canada. The Paul Stirling-led side has all the quality to get back into the winning ways but it won’t be an easy task. Meanwhile, they have quality bowlers in the ranks as well. Joshua Little leaked 42 runs in four overs against India and that was a concern as far as bowling is concerned. Barry McCarthy and Mark Adair looked solid and will be crucial against Canada.

The surface in New York isn’t bating-friendly and has troubled all the teams so far. Canada won’t be able to play aggressive cricket like they did in the last match and might whave to deal in singles and doubles. However, Ireland have the edge at the moment, given that they have already played once on the same ground.
