USA vs Canada Preview

USA have home ground advantage over Canada as well as form, having beaten them 4-0 in their T20I series earlier in May. The USA also have a top-order that has been scoring runs consistently and should be too strong for Canada.

USA’s Steven Taylor has scored 54, 39, 28 & 31 in his last 4 innings.
USA’s Monank Patel has scored 50, 68 & 42 in his last 5 innings.
Canada’s Aaron Johnson hit six sixes in his 74 off 40 balls against the USA.
Canada’s Nicholas Kirton has scored 27, 21, 28 & 52 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

The two teams played a five-match series in April, which the USA won 4-0, with one match abandoned.

USA Form

In the last match of their T20I series against Bangladesh in late May, the USA went down by 10 wickets but still won the series 2-1.

The USA got off to a flying start through Shayan Jahangir (18) and Andries Gous (27 off 15 balls) before they were reduced to 60/5 in the 13th over. They struggled through to 104/9 off their 20 overs.

Milind Kumar (0/25, econ 6.25) did his best to contain the Bangladesh openers, but they attacked the rest of the USA bowlers to power home for a 10-wicket win in the 12th over.

USA Team News

The USA are in good form and are unlikely to make any changes to their team.

Canada Form

After losing 4-0 to the USA in their recent T20I series, Canada picked up a good win over Nepal in their warmup match ahead of today’s opening fixture.

Nicholas Kirton top-scored with 52 off 39 balls coming in at number four, but it was Ravinderpal Singh’s late rally (41* off 17 balls, with four sixes) that lifted Canada’s score to a competitive 183/7.

Nepal got off to a good start before Jeremy Gordon (2/25) and Dilon Heyliger (4/20) ran through Nepal’s last six batters for just 33 runs.

Canada Team News

Canada’s top-order needs to start performing with greater consistency if they hope to beat the USA.

Verdict

USA v Canada - World Cup

I am backing USA to win. I am also backing Steven Taylor to top score for the USA.

Aaron Johnson is a good bet to top score for Canada.

USA win
