Canada is arriving here with a win and the team has a good number of bowlers who can utilize the Nassau conditions well, as the pitch is completely favoring them.
Canada’s Jeremy Gordon might be one player who can trouble the Pakistan batters with his pace, especially in the first few overs.

As they lost the last two games because of them. It will be interesting to see where the game goes. Will Pakistan put runs on the board and mark one more game off, or will Canada bring some twists?
