The United States and Canada will kick off the inaugural ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Dallas on Sunday, marking the start of the 20-team tournament. The neighboring teams are slotted in Group A alongside India, Pakistan, and Ireland, and they hope to reignite a forgotten rivalry as they face off in the opening match.
The United States come into the tournament after a 0-4 loss against Canada in a T20I series, but they also made history by defeating Bangladesh 2-1 at home in their first-ever T20I bilateral series with an Asian team. On the other hand, Canada has had a mixed record against their American rivals.
The United States squad for the T20 World Cup includes Monank Patel (c & wk), Steven Taylor, Andries Gous, Aaron Jones, Corey Anderson, Harmeet Singh, Nitish Kumar, and others. Meanwhile, the Canadian squad consists of Saad Bin Zafar (c), Aaron Johnson, Navneet Dhaliwal
