BER vs CAN (2nd Match) – Highlights

On April 19, 2025, BER and CAN clashed in the second match of the North America Cup at George Town, delivering an exciting contest.Canada emerged victorious by 5 wickets with 11 balls remaining, successfully chasing down Bermuda’s modest target of 106. The match saw disciplined bowling and solid batting performances, with Kaleem Sana emerging as a pivotal figure in Canada’s victory.

Batting first, BER had a tough task against a disciplined bowling unit from Canada. Captain Terryn Fray was the star of the show with a solid 52 off a stressful 54, though he was the only batter to really gain any momentum while others struggled. The likes of Alex Dore (1), Onias Bascome (1), and Dominic Sabir (9) all went cheaply.

Delray Rawlins contributed 34 runs, but he was also out to bring Bermuda to a total of only 88 in the 16th over. In the end, there was no significant lower-order resistance, and Bermuda completed their 20 overs at 105/8. For Canada, Kaleem Sana took 4 for 17, and Jaskaran Singh was superbly supportive with 3 for 11.

In reply, CAN had to chase a modest total of 106, and they set about it with a steady approach. However, the early loss of Ali Nadeem, who was caught by Sabir off Zeko Burgess’s bowling, and Yuvraj Samra, dismissed by Fubler, left them at 34/2. Navneet Dhaliwal provided some stability with a well-made 29 runs off 20 balls, including two sixes. 

His wicket fell to Allan Douglas in the 5th over, but Harsh Thaker ensured that the chase remained on track. Thaker, who remained unbeaten on 36 off 34 balls, anchored the innings and played a key role in Canada’s successful chase. He was supported by Kanwarpal Tathgur (9 runs) and Jaskaran Singh (5 runs), who fell at regular intervals, but it was Thaker’s composed innings that guided the team closer to the target.

With just 18.1 overs needed to chase down the target, Canada eventually reached 108/5, securing the win with 11 balls remaining. Bermuda’s bowlers, although disciplined, couldn’t create enough pressure to stop Canada from reaching the target. 

Delray Rawlins was the most successful bowler for Bermuda, taking 1 wicket for 14 runs, while Zeko Burgess and Kevon Fubler each took a wicket. Despite their best efforts, Bermuda’s total was always going to be challenging to defend, and Canada’s steady batting led them to a deserved victory.

Kaleem Sana was the Player of the Match for his bowling, which enabled Bermuda to set a very modest total. His brilliant 4-wicket haul dismantled the Bermuda batting order and provided Canada the basis on which to chase the target and achieve a commanding victory. Bermuda vs. Canada Scoreboard
