USA vs CAN Match Preview
While Australia versus England is touted to be cricket’s oldest rivalry, very few know that the USA and Canada locked horns in a three-game match in 1844. However, the rivalry couldn’t grow as exciting as the two teams would have liked in the years and decades to come.
But, things have started to re-emerge for Canada and the USA in the sport of cricket. They are now set to take on each other in the opener of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 in Dallas.
Interestingly, both teams are representing their countries at the T20 World Cup stage for the first time. While the USA got World Cup qualification as they were the co-host of the event, Canada made their way through by winning the America Qualifiers.
Talking about the potency of the two sides, the USA appears to be a formidable outfit between the two. The likes of Corey Anderson, Ali Khan and Harmeet Singh have lit up the USA squad with their blazing performances.
USA’s 4-0 series win against Canada followed by a historic 2-1 T20I series win against Bangladesh will boost their morale as they begin their campaign on June 1.
Canada, on the other hand, managed to pull themselves up with a magnificent win against Nepal in the warm-up fixture held a few days ago.
