Canada and Ireland go head to head in match 13 of The T20 World Cup 2024 in New York on Friday, June 7. Both teams are placed in Group A and have lost their respective first games.

Ireland under the leadership of Paul Stirling lost their first game against India. They headed into the encounter with a series loss to Pakistan and could not turn things around against India. Now they have a big opportunity against Canada to turn the tables.

The side has experienced players and players who have played in the last two World Cups in 2021 and 2022. It is the experience on the two sides that might make a difference in the results.

Canada, on the other hand, lost their first game against the USA. They failed to defend their total of 194 against the USA. The co-jost nation found a new hero in Aaron James who scored an unbeaten 94 off 40 balls to take his team home. He hit 10 sixes in his innings in the match.

This is an important match for both teams, but the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium pitch is a major concern. The Sri Lanka vs South Africa match saw the Lankans getting bowled out for 77 and South Africa taking almost 17 overs to chase down the target.
