TEAMS PREVIEW

Canada Preview

Saad Bin Zafar's side recently lost the series against the United States, and the team is looking to overcome that. It will be their first appearance in the World Cup, and the side will look to perform strongly. The Canadian skipper would like a strong show from his batsmen in this contest.  

Aaron Johnson and Navneet Dhaliwal must give the side a good start in this contest, as Nepal has a strong bowling attack. The middle order's role will be crucial in this game, and they need good performances from Harsh Thaker, Nicholas Kirton, Shreyas Movva, and Kanwarpal Tathgur. Saad Bin Zafar and Dilpreet Bajwa will look to do well in the lower middle order and test their hitting abilities.  

Saad Bin Zafar must lead from the front with the ball, and he will look to pick early wickets in the game with Dillon Heyliger. Harsh Thaker and Jeremy Gordon have an important role in the middle overs, along with Kaleem Sana. Navneet Dhaliwal and Junaid Siddiqui must get their acts right in the ing roles.

Nepal Preview

Rohit Paudel will look to give a final touch to the side's preparations for the mega tournament with a good show in this game. They return to this tournament after 2014 and shall look to make an impact. It is a more experienced team than one that played 10 years back, and Paudel would look to get his playing combination right and win the game to gain confidence ahead of the tournament.  

The team has a strong batting lineup, and they would like to focus on the performance of their openers. Kushal Bhurtel and Aasif Sheikh. The middle order has done well in recent matches, and it will be interesting to see how Rohit Paudel, Kushal Malla, Pratis GC, and Dipendra Singh Airee. Sundeep Jora, Sompal Kami, and Karan KC will look to test their hitting skills in this game.  

The bowling attack will be under pressure as the conditions here don't suit them. The side will expect good spells from Karan KC and Lalit Rajbanshi with the new ball. In the middle overs, the management will watch Dipendra Singh Airee, Sompal Kami, and Kushal Malla's performance, with Sandeep Lamichhane's participation being ruled out. Pratis GC and Paudel must do well in the ing role.

Nepal Predicted Playing XI:

Rohit Paudel (c), Aasif Sheikh, Anil Kumar Sah, Kushal Bhurtel, Kushal Malla, Dipendra Singh Airee, Lalit Rajbanshi, Karan KC, Gulshan Jha, Sompal Kami, Pratis GC, Sundeep Jora, Abinash Bohara, Sagar Dhakal, Kamal Singh Airee

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It will be clear skies over Dallas. We expect a batting-friendly wicket where the ball comes to the bat nicely. The bowlers have a small margin for error, as batsmen can play their strokes freely. The side batting first will eye a score of 180 runs to feel safe on this track.

CAN vs NEP Pitch Report

Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas, is a small ground with a lightning-quick outfield. It allows the batsmen to free their arms and score quick runs. There is some assistance for the fast bowlers early in the game, and the spinners have struggled as the short boundaries make life difficult for them. 

Toss: To Bowl

We have seen big run chases in the tournament. Defending a score on such a small ground is never easy, as the results have already shown us. Hence, we expect the side winning the toss in this game to have no hesitation in bowing first.
