Although it looks like they have a chance now, as Pakistan is set to play Canada at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, who are debutants in the tournament. But unlike Pakistan, they are coming after registering a win over the test-playing nation Ireland. Speaking more about Pakistan and Canada’s previous encounter, the men in green can take a sigh of relief as their record against Canada is fairly good.
Pakistan have a edge over newcomers Canada

As all the bowlers from Shoaib Akhtar to Shoaib Tanvir and Umar Gul equally contributed and restricted Canada to a score of 102 runs.
Is there any twist awaiting in the Pak vs Can T20 World Cup 2024 game?
As mentioned, Pakistan is currently having a tough time. As the players shoulders are clearly seen As mentioned, Pakistan is currently having a tough time.

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. On the other hand, there is no question about Pakistan bowling, they always impress with their skills. But if Pakistan wants to progress, their batters need to come together. 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?
