PAK vs CAN Live Score: CANADA 106/7 in 20 overs vs PAKISTAN

Canada managed to surpass the 100-run threshold, thanks to a vital 10 runs scored in the final over. However, the Pakistani bowlers showcased their prowess with a dominant bowling performance throughout the innings.

The Canadian innings commenced on a promising note, despite the bowler-friendly conditions. “Aaron Johnson, eager to find some form, hit a few solid boundaries and set a positive tone for the team.” Unfortunately, Navneet Dhaliwal found it challenging to cope with the movement and inconsistent bounce, resulting in an early dismissal. Pargat Singh also succumbed to the pressure, scoring only in single digits. “Nicholas Kirton, who has been in good form, was dismissed in the most unfortunate manner due to a total miscommunication,” leaving Canada in a precarious position. The situation worsened with the quick departures of Shreyas Movva and Ravinderpal Singh, leaving Johnson as the sole warrior with a mere 54 runs on the scoreboard.

Johnson’s valiant effort came to an end shortly after he reached a commendable half-century. Kaleem Sana’s crucial cameo in the latter stages of the innings helped Canada surpass the 100-run mark, providing a glimmer of hope amidst the dominant bowling display by the Pakistani team.
