Canada – Team Preview
Canada enters this clash desperately needing a win, having lost their last three T20I matches. They are currently ranked 21st in ICC T20I rankings with a rating of 139. Despite their poor recent form, Canada has a strong core of experienced players capable of turning games around.
Captain Navneet Dhaliwal remains their pillar with the bat, often anchoring the innings while others bat around him. Saad Bin Zafar, the star left-arm spinner, is a game-changer in the middle overs and also contributes with the bat when required. Canada’s bowling unit is decent, with Kaleem Sana and Harsh Thaker offering pace and spin options respectively.
The team’s recent form may look bleak, but given the quality in their squad, they are expected to bounce back and make a serious push for the semi-finals. Their head-to-head dominance against Bermuda also gives them a psychological edge going into this match.
Bermuda – Team Preview
Bermuda, ranked 28th with a rating of 113, are showing excellent form, having won their last three T20 matches. While they are the underdogs, their current rhythm and momentum cannot be overlooked.
Captain Terryn Fray brings aggressive intent at the top of the order. Alongside him, Delray Rawlins and Dominic Sabir provide stability in the middle and are vital cogs in both departments. Rawlins, with his all-round skills, is a potential match-winner. Bermuda’s bowling attack, led by Zeko Burgess and Derrick Brangman, has been tight and disciplined in recent games.
While their opponents might seem stronger on paper, Bermuda’s unity, form, and hunger to upset bigger teams make them a team to watch out for.
