3 Canada players to watch out for in their clash against Ireland in T20 World Cup 2024

The Canada cricket team is all set to lock horns against Ireland for the T20 World Cup 2024 match, which is slated to take place on June 7 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Notably, the side has been competing in a T20 World Cup for the first time; however, he has played 50-over World Cups back in 1979, 2003, 2007, and 2011.

The side has already lost the inaugural game against the USA, but they will be looking to win their next game. In the same vein, here are the top 3 Canadian players to watch out for in their clash against Ireland in the T20 World Cup 2024.

1. Aaron Johnson

Aaron is the top player to watch out for in the game against Ireland. Notably, the top-order batter hails from Jamaica and would be well aware of the pitches in the Caribbean Islands. The star player has been known for playing the aggressive brand of cricket. Johnson made his debut in the T20Is back in 2022 and has hammered two centuries so far. He has a magnificent strike rate of 167 in the 16 T20I innings over a solid strike rate of 51. He seems to be the most consistent top-order batter and can single-handedly destroy Ireland in the next game.

2. Kaleem Sana

Notably, Sana has been the left-arm pacer for the Pakistan side and has played for them in first-class games before making a switch to the Canadian side. The great seamer made his debut for Canada in 2022 and has bagged 15 wickets with a great average of 5.63. He also has two 4-wicket hauls and has a great chance to destroy Ireland’s batting camp in the next game.

3. Saad Bin Zafar

Skipper Zafar also paces himself on the list of players to watch out for in the next game against Ireland. The star player has been part of the Caribbean Premier League over the years and knows the pitch conditions very well. The star player has great experience with the shortest format of the game, and he will be looking to showcase his skills in the ongoing marquee event.
