No disrespect to Aaron Johnson but if he can score a half century striking at 126 on this NY deck why can’t other more established world class batters #CANvPAK #T20CWC2024 #t20usa

Canada lose the plot, reduced to 55/5 at the end of 10 overs. Incredible comeback by Pakistan.

Canada 52/3 at the end of 9 overs.

Mohammed Amir and Shaheen Afridi have picked a wicket apiece in the powerplay.

Canada come out all guns blazing with the bat here. Real intent from ball one.

Naseem Shah pulls the strings from the other end. Gives away only six.

Aaron Johnson and Navneet Dhaliwal to open the batting for Canada.

The only bright sport for Pakistan on Sunday was the performance of their bowlers with Naseem Shah (3/21) and Mohammad Amir (2/23) leading from the front.

But premier fast bowler Shaheen needs to take more responsibility upfront in the remaining two games to give Pakistan an outside chance. He has hardly been able to get swing in conducive conditions.
