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

Discover the top 3 Canada players to watch out for in their T20 World Cup 2024 clash against India. Canada is set to face inaugural champions India in their final group-stage match of the 2024 T20 World Cup. Having lost two out of three matches, Canada is currently third in the Group A points table and virtually knocked out of the tournament.

Their campaign got off to a poor start as they lost to the United States by seven wickets. However, they staged a massive comeback to beat Ireland by 12 runs and seal their maiden T20 World Cup win. Canada suffered a seven-wicket defeat in their next match against Pakistan, ending their hopes of qualifying for the Super 8s barring a miracle.

As Saad Bin Zafar and Co. gear up to take on India at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida on Saturday (June 15), their sole aim will be to end the campaign on a positive note with a good fight.

Here are three Canadian players to watch out for in their match against India:

3. Nicholas Kirton

Nicholas Kirton is the leading run-scorer for Canada so far in the tournament. Batting in the middle order, Kirton has scored 101 runs at an average of 33.67 and a strike rate of 140.28. His brilliant knock of 31-ball 51 against the USA went in vain as the Canadian bowlers failed to defend a target of 195. However, his 35 off 49 against Ireland proved crucial in their historic victory.

2. Aaron Johnson

Aaron Johnson is coming on the back of an impressive half-century against Pakistan. In an innings where only three players managed to cross the 10-run mark, Johnson scored 52 off 44 balls to push his team’s score beyond 100. The opening batter will once again aim to lead the batting unit in the upcoming match. It will be interesting how the right-hander copes with Arshdeep Singh’s new ball threat.

1. Dillon Heyliger

Dillon Heyliger has been the stand-out bowler for Canada so far in the tournament. The right-arm pacer has taken five wickets at an impressive economy rate in three matches. He had a dream outing against Pakistan, taking two wickets for 18 runs in four overs. The Indian top-order has struggled to find runs in previous matches and Heyliger will be coming up with his menacing pace in the powerplay in the upcoming match.
