🏏ICC T20I Men's WC 2024: Match 13: CAN vs IRE, NY @ 8:00 PM IST🏏 - Page 2

Team Watch:

Ireland

Batting coach Gary Wilson suggested Harry Tector was fine despite copping a bruising blow from a Jasprit Bumrah bouncer. Ross Adair is a potential replacement if Tector doesn't pull up well. If Ireland expect the pitch to play similar to how it did against India, they might want to drop leg spinner Ben White for an additional seamer in Craig Young.

Probable XI: Paul Stirling (c), Andy Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker, Harry Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Josh Little, Ben White

Canada

Canada could bring in left-arm fast bowler Rishiv Joshi for offspinner Nikhil Dutta, who conceded 41 in 2.2 overs against USA.

Probable XI: Aaron Johnson, Navneet Dhaliwal, Pargat Singh, Nicholas Kirton, Shreyas Movva (wk), Dilpreet Bajwa, Saad Bin Zafar (c), Dilon Heyliger, Rishiv Joshi, Kaleem Sana, Jeremy Gordon

Thank you, Raji, for the thread and for tagging me.

So far, most of the matches are well played ones with nail-biting finishes!

Of course, Pakistan's defeat to the USA has opened up several possibilities of qualification in Group A and Ireland will believe they are right in the mix if they can take down Canada.

But to do that, they'll have to get a measure of the pitch in New York or at least do so better than their opponents on the day. It's been a nightmarish start for the venue with no team having gone past 100 in four innings.

Uneven bounce, prodigious lateral movement and a slow, sandy outfield have given headaches to both batters as well as the governing body of the game, which has waded in hoping to remedy the situation somewhat before the India-Pakistan game on June 9.

Any idea who is good in both team?! IHelp me to predict i have no idea about this two:(

Thanks for the tag 💙

Thanks for the tag and thread, Raji

Both Canada and Ireland are searching for their first points, having started the T20 World Cup with losses against USA and India, respectively. They need to get off the mark before they run out of time and games while dreaming of a spot in the Super Eights. That, and other highlights in today's preview by Ashish Pant.

9.30am Welcome to New York, again! Cricket has well and truly made its way into the USA - the damage in Dallas last night is a sign of what is possible on the field - even as New York has been in the limelight for the wrong reasons. The pitch at the Nassau County International Cricket Ground has been the centre of attraction for its poor quality, while the outfield has been pretty sandy. Today, Canada and Ireland play amid those very offerings.

Group A is the same group where everything's up for grabs after USA's stunning win over Pakistan yesterday. The co-hosts, in fact, are incredibly sitting top of the table at the moment with two in in two matches. India are second with one win, and one of Ireland and Canada have a chance to join them if they manage to survive the fire and brimstone emerging from the 22 yards at Nassau County. In the two matches at this venue so far, the teams batting first have been bowled out for 77 and 96 respectively. What's it going to be today?
