The first match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 is all set to take place on June 2nd at Grand Prairie Stadium. This United States vs Canada match will begin at 5:30 AM PST and 5:00 AM IST which makes 00:30 GMT.
United States vs Canada Match Preview
USA won a respective win over Canada in a five-match series early last month preceding the victory over Bangladesh. That notwithstanding, the only blip in that five-game series was the one game that had to be called off at the Prairie View Cricket Complex due to bad weather, while the USA again won the other four matches. This, in its extension, caused some unease for the Canada side.
But Canada have slipped to the 23rd place on the newly-released ICC T20 international rankings, as a result of which the USA moved up to 19th. Amongst players most likely to shine for Canada in the competition are 37-year-old Guyana-born fast bowler Jeremy Gordon, Jamaica-born batsman Aaron Johnson, and skipper Saad Bin Zafar, also 37, who bowls slow left-arm orthodox. But the good news finally arrived in the warm-up game for Canada on Monday as they defeated Nepal by 63 runs
