Toss Ireland chose to bowl vs Canada
Ireland who were rolled out for 96 against India two days back, made one change to their playing XI bringing in fast bowler Craig Young to replace legspinner Ben White. Canada also made one change to their playing XI from the opening game against USA. They brought in Junaid Siddiqui in place of Nikhil Dutta, who was expensive in the first game.
The broadcaster’s pitch report suggested that the surface seemed to have been rolled much more and had a “whitish tinge” to it, but a bit of bounce and movement can still be expected. Stirling also felt that the “wicket had changed from two days ago.”
Ireland: 1 Paul Stirling (capt), 2 Andy Balbirnie, 3 Lorcan Tucker (wk), 4 Harry Tector, 5 Curtis Campher, 6 George Dockrell, 7 Gareth Delany, 8 Mark Adair, 9 Barry McCarthy, 10 Josh Little, 11 Craig Young
Canada: 1 Aaron Johnson, 2 Navneet Dhaliwal, 3 Pargat Singh, 4 Nicholas Kirton, 5 Shreyas Movva (wk), 6 Dilpreet Bajwa, 7 Saad Bin Zafar (capt), 8 Dilon Heyliger, 9 Junaid Siddiqui, 10 Kaleem Sana, 11 Jeremy Gordon.
