Mohammad Rizwan’s unbeaten fifty helped Pakistan beat Canada by seven wickets in a must-win T20 World Cup 2024 game at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.

Saim Ayub, who was brought in for Iftikhar Ahmed, failed to deliver again, scoring only 6 runs in 12 balls. However, Rizwan played a responsible knock, scoring a run-a-ball 53 to take the game deep. Babar Azam also contributed with 33 runs in as many balls as Pakistan chased down the 107-run target in 17.4 overs with seven wickets to spare.

Earlier, Pakistan pacers made full use of bowling-friendly conditions as they reduced Canada to 106 for 7.

Pakistan started poorly with Shaheen Afridi conceding 11 in the first over with back-to-back boundaries on the first two balls.

However, they successfully pulled things back, thanks to an exceptional spell of 2/13 by Mohammad Amir. Haris Rauf also took two wickets for 26 runs in his four-over spell, while Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi bagged one wicket each for 24 and 21 runs, respectively.

Canada looked in tatters with 55/5 on the board at the halfway stage. However, Aaron Johnson’s 44-ball 55 pushed them to 106/7 in their 20 overs.

This was a do-or-die game for Pakistan as they had lost the first two games against India and the USA by close margins. A loss tonight would have knocked Pakistan out of the mega event.
