Here are the latest updates from the Pakistan versus Canada match on Tuesday, June 11: Pakistan emerged victorious over Canada by seven wickets in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 held at New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. Canada scored 106-7 after being asked to bat first. Mohammad Amir clinched the Player of the Match title for his three-wicket performance, with Muhammad Rizwan hitting a fifty during the chase.
To advance to the Super Eights, Pakistan needs to secure a win in their upcoming match against Ireland. Canada also requires a victory in their remaining game, but their negative net run rate diminishes their chances of progression. Pakistan faced defeats in their initial matches against USA and India. Up next on Al Jazeera is the Group D encounter between Sri Lanka and Nepal in a late game in the United States. The match at Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida commences at 7:30 pm local time (23:30 GMT).
Pakistan captain Babar Azam shares his thoughts on the win against Canada “We needed this win - it's a positive outcome,” Babar expressed during the post-match ceremony. “Our bowling performance was satisfactory. It's crucial to excel in the first six overs and taking wickets makes scoring tough for the opposition.
“We initially aimed for a quick chase within 13 or 14 overs to boost our net run rate, but the pitch conditions can be challenging with varying bounce and pace. “We plan to approach the match against Ireland differently. Our objective is to deliver our best performance in Lauderhill, Florida where the conditions are more favorable.”
