Great picture: Can the 2022 winners remain alive?
What cannot be forgotten has at least get briefly shelved as a result of the T20 World Cup 2024 planning. After losing to India, which is expected to leave scars long after the tournament has been consigned to a far, annoying memory, Pakistan may have some time to recover from their heartache. Yet, they do not have that moment right now. Less than 48 days after a fight they mucked up, Babar Azam's area may find themselves back up off the cloth, remarkable, and try to stand up right once more as Canada come calling.
Pakistan had always known that these two games would be played in three days, but Sunday's matchup turned out to be a gift rather than a scourge way through. A victory over India would have prevented them from undoing the negative effects of their starting defeat. Instead, Babar may direct a dispirited, forlorn group into the sport against Canada merely to assure Pakistan remain intact for a few more days.
Canada, however, find themselves in the somewhat uncommon position of looking down the table at their more enjoyed competitors. Saad Bin Zafar's team would have won this match with two victories in two sports if not for Aaron Jones ' battle in the tournament's opening match. They then bounced back and outplayed Ireland, which helped them maintain their spectacular composure after that painful loss.
If in the second game, Canada showed they have the batters straight down the order to put on great scores, they demonstrated in the following the quality of the bowling line- up to push Ireland effectively in defence of 137. Add to that a stellar tackling performance, and group A's hunger and ability to problem most people. And against a Pakistan collection- up also licking their wounds, there may never be a better opportunity to send them up to the cloth one final time.

In the spotlight: RizBar and Nicholas Kirton
A discussion may arise as to Babar and Mohammad Rizwan's approach to the pitches. Expect both teams to come out firing against the Canadians, regardless of whether Pakistan pitcher first or second, after being criticized for their slow moving in the fight against India. That may indicate that the match enters one of those recognizable RizBar partnerships where the strokeplay is sluggish. It also gives Canada a chance to take an earlier wicket or two and put their weight behind a timid center order.
Canada may be thankful for 26- year- ancient Barbados- born Nicholas Kirton no being scooped up by West Indies, because at this tournament, he has shown the personality and quality to execute on the major stage. He came into the occasion with a 39- game 52 in a warm- off game against Nepal, and has followed it up with 51 and 49 against USA and Ireland, which came off a combined 66 balls. The left-hander's shotmaking is elegant and elegant, and he struggles to bowl to the extent that his wrists allow him to use his hands to make the most of the ground possible. If, on a New York pitch no one seems quite sure of, Kirton can play another one of those innings, he will pose Pakistan problems.
Team news: Will Pakistan turn to Ayub?
There are no fresh injury concerns and limited ways Pakistan can rejig the current 15- man squad. One of Usman Khan or Shadab may be prone to the drop because Sim Ayub may be yelling at him to return to the side.
Pakistan ( probable ): 1 Mohammad Rizwan (wk ), 2 Saim Ayub, 3 Babar Azam ( capt ), 4 Fakhar Zaman, 5 Shadab Khan/Usman Khan, 6 Iftikhar Ahmed, 7 Imad Wasim, 8 Shaheen Shah Afridi, 9 Naseem Shah, 10 Haris Rauf, 11 Mohammad Amir
Following their victory over Ireland, Canada is likely to remain unchangeable.
Canada ( probable ): 1 Aaron Johnson, 2 Navneet Dhaliwal, 3 Pargat Singh, 4 Dilpreet Bajwa, 5 Nicholas Kirton, 6 Shreyas Movva (wk ), 7 Dilon Heyliger, 8 Saad Bin Zafar ( capt ), 9 Kaleem Sana, 10 Junaid Siddiqui, 11 Jeremy Gordon

Quotes
" There is no chance for us to get complacent. Whoever it is does not deserve to play for the country if they become complacent after two losses. You ca n't take any team lightly in T20 cricket. We have to be absolutely ready. The morale of the team is down, but this is the time we show our character. We go and play good cricket".
No Pakistan players, according to Azhar Mahmood, are likely to be complacent in the face of Canada.

" They]Pakistan ] are very skilled players. The majority of the players have been playing league cricket, not just international cricket, so they have a lot of skills. But if you are looking for an opportunity, you have to relish these moments. I think the wicket's use of tricks helps us level the playing field. We are looking to use that to our advantage".
