Cricket Prediction | United States vs Canada | 4th T20I | April 12, 2024 – Will visiting Canada be able to equalize the series by defeating the host USA?

USA vs CAN Match Analysis

Let’s analyze the US vs CAN Match Prediction. The third T20I was between the United States and Canada because of the rain and the muddy field. The score stays 2-0 in the USA’s advantage as the hosts. Tomorrow at the Prairie View Cricket Complex is the fourth game of the five-match series. Canada can now only hope to draw the series, while the USA will be seeking to close the deal here.

In the second Twenty20 International, USA maintained their winning streak, defeating Canada by 31 runs. After amassing an enormous 230 points, the squad bowled out Canada for 199. Rain caused the third T20I to be swept away. The USA must now win the series; thus, the hosts should play with greater aggression.

In both matches, Canada has been thoroughly defeated. The inability of Canada’s top-order hitters to score runs has been a major contributing factor to their dismal performance. The squad hasn’t been able to trouble the USA bowlers because they haven’t had strong starts.

USA vs CAN Team Preview & Squads

United States

The USA’s batting effort in the second Twenty20 International was spearheaded by Steven Taylor, Andries Gous, and captain Monank Patel, who each scored an outstanding half-century. Their efforts contributed to the team’s 230 runs scored, which led to a convincing 31-run victory over Prairie View.

Thanks to openers Taylor and Monank, the USA scored 104 runs in just 51 balls after being asked to bat first. In his fast 25-ball 54, Taylor, who started as the aggressor, hit seven fours and three sixes. The USA maintained their momentum despite the loss, as Gous and Monank scored incredible half-centuries for the second straight match. Gous made a quick 35-ball 57 with three fours and four sixes, but Monank had a furious innings of 68 off 35 balls with 10 boundaries and two maximums.

The team’s total reached over 200 runs when Aaron Jones led a late push, hitting four lofty sixes in his 20-ball 34.

In the second Twenty20 International, seven American bowlers emerged victorious, including Harmeet Singh, Saurabh Netravalkar, and Shadley van Schalkwyk, who each claimed two wickets. We anticipate Netravalkar and Schalkwyk to continue being their most productive bowlers from this series.

Canada

In the second encounter, Canada made a great effort at-bat but was only able to score 199 runs. The opening batsman, Aaron Johnson, spearheaded the attack with a quick 74 off just 40 balls. Unfortunately, their combined efforts fell short of matching the daunting total of 230 runs scored by the hosts.

Despite Canada’s strong start of 112 for 1 in the first 11 overs, the match’s dynamics were drastically altered in favor of the USA by the swift removals of Johnson (74) and Pargat Singh (27). Even with sporadic bursts of genius, most notably from Harsh Thaker (34* off 17 balls), the USA dominated the game from start to finish.

It is anticipated that Aaron Johnson, who has scored 438 runs at a strike rate of over 180 in his last ten innings, will maintain his impressive form in the fourth game. Another player we think will perform well is all-rounder Harsh Thaker.

Throughout this series, there have been concerns about Canada’s bowling performance. Considering the situation, it could be advantageous to have Nikhil Dutta in the starting lineup for the fourth Twenty20 International. Off-spinner Dutta has exhibited encouraging form lately, taking 12 wickets at an economy rate of 6.0 in his last eight games.

USA vs CAN outfield report

Prairie View Cricket Complex Houston

With two games remaining and the series now at 2-0, both teams will probably choose to bat first as a precaution. This presents them with the ideal chance to amass a massive lead and force the opposition to bat them out of the match.

Luckily, the weather for tomorrow seems clear. There will be clear skies and a pleasant temperature.

This match’s par score should be between 180 and 190. If the pitch is the same as it was in the second Twenty20 International, the team batting first will have to aim for a score of about 200.
