Pakistan elect to bowl against Canada in must-win T20 World Cup match

NEW DELHI: Pakistan skipper Babar Azam chose to field first after winning the toss in the crucial Group A encounter of the T20 World Cup against Canada in New York on Tuesday.

Currently, Pakistan find themselves in a precarious position, languishing at the fourth spot in the Group A standings, having suffered defeats in both their matches against USA and India.

Canada, on the other hand, are placed third with one victory and one loss to their name. However, their Net Run Rate of -0.274 could potentially jeopardise their chances of progressing to the Super Eight stage, despite having two points courtesy of their triumph over Ireland.

The surfaces at the venue have consistently produced low-scoring nail-biters, and it is expected that the batsmen from both sides will face a stern test once again.
