Canada vs Ireland in T20 World Cup 2024, Preview, Time, Venue, Squads

Ireland is gearing up to face Canada in a crucial match scheduled for Friday, June 7th, at 7:30 PM (PST) 

The venue for this match is the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, where dry weather and bright sunshine are expected throughout the day, accompanied by light winds as temperatures rise steadily.

Canada enters the match with a mixed bag of fortunes. Despite posting an impressive total of 194/5 in their opening game against the United States, their hopes were dashed as the USA mounted a remarkable comeback, propelled by Canada's wayward bowling. The Canadian team would need to recalibrate their strategy for this encounter, especially considering the tougher conditions they might face.

On the other hand, Ireland faced a formidable challenge against India in their previous match. Struggling against India's pace bowlers on a pitch offering uneven bounce, the Irish batters faltered, managing only a meager total of 96 runs. With such a modest target, Ireland found it difficult to defend, ultimately succumbing to India's batting prowess.

Furthermore, Ireland's experience and familiarity with the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium give them an edge over Canada. With seasoned players in their lineup, Ireland is poised to bounce back from their previous defeat and secure a victory against Canada.
