Pakistan is set to play the third and most critical match in the T20 World Cup versus Canada today in New York City. It will be the last chance for the Pakistan team to remain “in” the big event. They must not only survive their next two games but also beat the USA India, and Ireland. But bear in mind, if the United States won one more point, PAK would be out of the Super 8 list.
Meanwhile, Canada’s captain, Saad Bin Zafar, stated that the players are happy after their memorable victory over Ireland. “Everyone in the team is in a good mood.” The Canadian Press quotes Saad as saying, “Our last game went really well.” “It developed a belief in us that if we play well in cricket on the day, we are capable of taking down any opponent.”
Pakistan’s Strategy Against Canada
Playing against Canada would be something fresh for the Pakistani team. Each team, like all sports, has its strengths and flaws. Pak’s players would have to adjust their methods to combat the Canadian way of play. This could mean adjusting their in-field tactics and their game plan. Accepting new challenges like this is an important element of sports because it helps players grow and enhance their talents.
Azhar Mehmood Hopes Good For Pakistan
Azhar, a former cricketer of Pakistan said that he does not expect Pakistan’s players to be less against Canada. While the Pakistani players will face Canada, they are determined to perform best.
“Now, we don’t have any way to get relaxed. If anyone becomes comfortable after two defeats, they have no right or opportunity to play for their nation. In T20 cricket, you cannot underestimate any team. We should be prepared, but it’s time to demonstrate our character and play excellent cricket.”
This includes intense training sessions, reviewing their opponents’ techniques, and psychologically preparing for the next game. Every team member plays an important role on the field or the sidelines. Success in sports needs effort, discipline, and drive, attributes that Pakistani sportsmen exemplify as they strive for victory against Canada.

“Batsmen put it away as Pakistan beaten by India in low-scoring nailbiter,” was the headline on the front cover of the English daily newspaper Dawn. Bumrah loved being brought on by the Indian captain, and Rizwan’s photograph was published as well on his side when he faced the bowler.
In another British Newspaper, the news was written that “Pakistan misses good beginning as India wins the Twenty-20 format thrillers” PAK has lost against the United States and India in the tournament thus far. They now face Canada, who overcame Ireland by 12 runs.
To qualify for the Super Eight teams, Pakistani players will need to not only win their remaining group games but also drastically increase their net run rate if the USA falls to India as well as Ireland, where the game between PAK and Irish on June 16 would be critical.
Mohsin Raza Naqvi, chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), stated “After two consecutive defeats by India and United States, it appeared that the cricket group would be alright with little surgery.”
“But the game today was really poor. Following the game, it is clear that substantial therapy is required in the players, and the country will witness huge surgery shortly,” he remarked with disappointment.
