Preview:
Canada (CAN) and Ireland (IRE) will look to open their accounts when they face each other in match No. 13 of the T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Friday, June 7.
Canada played in the curtain raiser against neighbours USA in Dallas. They put on a solid batting effort to post 194/5 in their 20 overs. However, a sensational knock from Aaron Jones helped the hosts track down the challenging score in just 17.4 overs with seven wickets to spare. Saad Bin Zafar’s men would want to bounce back from the defeat and register Canada’s first win in T20 World Cup history.
Ireland had a tough outing in their T20 World Cup opener as they were handed a thrashing by inaugural champions India. After being asked to bat first on a tricky surface at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, the European nation were blown over 96. The Men in Blue made light work of the run-chase as they romped home with eight wickets and 46 balls in the bank.

CAN vs IRE Probable Best Players of the Match
Probable Best Batter of the Match:
Lorcan Tucker is one of the most exciting batters in Irish cricket. He missed out against India and will be eager to make amends on Friday. He has played 10 matches in 2024 and scored 251 runs at an average of 25.10 and a strike rate of 130.72. The right-handed batter registered three half-centuries as well. The Canada bowlers will want to see the back of him quickly before he gets into his groove.
Probable Best Bowler of the Match:
Mark Adair put in a decent shift with the ball against India. He conceded just 27 runs in his four overs and picked up the wicket of the legendary Virat Kohli. The right-arm pacer is going to take the new ball and his spell is going to be very crucial for Ireland. He will look to get his team off to a fantastic start by making some early inroads.
