Canada’s cricket team, led by captain Saad Bin Zafar, is celebrating a historic victory after defeating Ireland by 12 runs in the T20 World Cup 2024. This triumph, achieved at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, marks Canada’s first-ever win in the tournament and sets the stage for their upcoming clash against Pakistan.
Canada’s competitive total of 137 for seven was powered by a stellar performance from Nicholas Kirton, who scored 49 runs off 35 balls. Shreyas Movva also made a significant contribution with a composed 37 off 36 balls. The Canadian bowlers, spearheaded by Jeremy Gordon and Dillon Heyliger, held their nerve under pressure to restrict Ireland to 125 for seven.
