Canada Team Preview
Canada enters this fixture with their confidence soaring after defeating Bermuda by five wickets. They chased down 105 with ease, showing composure and depth in both their batting and bowling departments. The team currently sits second on the points table with one win and will look to continue this momentum against a relatively weaker Bahamas side.
Harsh Thaker has been a standout performer for Canada. His calm 36-run innings during the chase against Bermuda was crucial. Navneet Dhaliwal has provided steady leadership, scoring runs consistently and guiding the team through tough situations. In the bowling department, Kaleem Sana was exceptional in the last game, picking up four wickets and completely dismantling Bermuda’s middle-order.
Canada boasts a balanced lineup with solid openers, dependable middle-order batters, and a bowling attack that can defend moderate scores. Players like Saad Bin Zafar and Jaskaran Singh add variety with spin and pace, respectively. Against Bahamas, Canada will want to test their bench and get more players involved.
Bahamas Team Preview
Bahamas find themselves in a tough spot, sitting at the bottom of the table after a humiliating 149-run defeat at the hands of the USA. Their batting lineup failed to provide any resistance, collapsing to 68/9 in response to USA’s 217. The performance exposed their weak middle-order and lack of experience against quality pace and spin attacks.
Marc Taylor was the only batter who showed some form, scoring 19 in the previous game. But the rest of the lineup crumbled under pressure. On the bowling front, Romaine Smith has been their best bowler, claiming 2 wickets, but he hasn’t received much support from others like Festus Benn and Kervon Hinds.
The Bahamas need a complete turnaround if they are to challenge Canada. Their lack of big-match experience is evident, and unless they find new strategies quickly, another heavy defeat seems inevitable.

Fantasy Team XI (CAN vs BHM)
| Player | Role |
|---|---|
| Navneet Dhaliwal | Batsman |
| Harsh Thaker | All-rounder |
| Marc Taylor | Batsman |
| Saad Bin Zafar | All-rounder |

Captain: Harsh Thaker
Vice-Captain: Kaleem Sana
Fantasy Analysis:
Harsh Thaker is the safest captaincy option due to his all-round capabilities. Kaleem Sana can be a match-winner with the ball and is ideal for vice-captain. Avoid picking Eugene Duff and Antonio Harris – both have been underwhelming and inconsistent with bat and gloves.
Players to Avoid in Fantasy Team
- Eugene Duff – No impactful contribution so far.
- Antonio Harris – Inconsistent and unlikely to add fantasy value.
Favourite Team Today (Why?)
Canada is the clear favorite today. Their top-order looks solid, and their bowling attack has performed brilliantly. In contrast, Bahamas are still struggling to find form and cohesion, especially in their batting lineup.
