In the T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up matches, Canada, Oman, and Namibia emerged victorious, while bad weather forced the cancellation of the Bangladesh-USA clash.

Canada triumphed over Nepal by 63 runs in Dallas. Nicholas Kirton's 51 runs and solid bowling from Dillon Heylinger led Canada to a commanding victory, setting the stage for their upcoming match against the Netherlands.

Oman showcased their prowess by chasing down 138 runs against Papua New Guinea, with Zeeshan Maqsood's 45 runs and Aqib Ilyas' bowling brilliance securing the win.

Namibia clinched a five-wicket win against Uganda, highlighted by Nikolaas Davin's impressive half-century and JJ Smit's crucial contributions.

Unfortunately, the anticipated Bangladesh-USA encounter was called off due to thunderstorms in Dallas. This cancellation disappointed fans and teams alike, especially as both sides were gearing up for the T20 World Cup.

Despite this setback, the stage is set for an exciting tournament, with teams fine-tuning their strategies and players showcasing their skills in these warm-up matches.
