With all teams in Group A having played two matches so far, the table is starting to take some shape. However, for Ireland and Pakistan, the two teams who are yet to put a point on the board, it does not make for pretty reading!
Even with the boost of being co-hosts, first-time T20 World Cup competitors USA were not meant to be sitting in a Super Eights spot after two matches and Canada are also batting above their average in third.
Canada beating Ireland was a shock although Pakistan losing to USA was arguably the biggest surprise ever seen in international cricket. But a win for Canada in this clash will top them all.

After getting the better of Ireland in New York last week, Canada will return to the same venue as they look to pull off one of the greatest cricketing upsets of all time against Pakistan.
They bucked the trend of teams losing when batting first on the bowler-friendly surface at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium and now will have some confidence and self-belief ahead of this match.
Nicholas Kirton and Shreyas Movva starred with the bat for Canada against Ireland with Jeremy Gordon and Dilon Heyliger the standout performers with the ball.

Looking to put their embarrassing defeat to USA behind them, Pakistan managed to cover themselves in non-glory once again as they failed to beat India in spite of being 73/2 after 12.1 overs when chasing 120. In fact, such was their lack of progress from that previously solid and secure base, that they even ended up losing by six runs!
The mood will no doubt be downbeat after such a poor start to the tournament but Pakistan do have a very talented squad. It would be no surprise if they were to come into this game and give Canada an almighty thrashing, even if that was not enough to progress into the Super Eights in the final analysis.

Although there was some rain around which caused a couple of delays during the India and Pakistan game on Sunday, the forecast is for some cloud but very little chance of rain in New York on Tuesday. The temperature is likely to be in the mid-twenties.

This pitch has improved since it was first dropped in ahead of the tournament but we still see the ball do things it really shouldn't do like leaping up from a length and shooting through every now and then. Also, the outfield is very slow as well as being long so expect an above average number of threes and a lower than normal average of boundaries! Whoever bats first will have an excellent chance of winning if they post 140.
It's a simple decision for captains at the toss in New York as the pitch is very hard for batters against the new ball. The surface tends to improve as the game progresses so batting second is preferable and we predict that both skippers will want to bowl first.
Although it is USA who have taken most of the headlines, and rightly so after their win over Pakistan, Canada have beaten Ireland and were not far away from beating USA in the opener. However, surely Pakistan will be too strong for the Canadians in this game. We expect the real Pakistan to turn up, the ones who went all the way to the final in 2022, and to get the victory.
We are backing Pakistan to win!
