USA vs Canada Dallas Pitch Report: The United States of America (USA) will take on Canada in the opening match of the much-awaited T20 World Cup 2024 at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas on June 2 (Indian time). The US will be co-hosting the Cricket World Cup for the first time and has teamed up with West Indies in the T20 World Cup 2024. The tournament will be held in three US cities – Dallas, New York and Florida. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the pitch report from the Grand Prairie Stadium ahead of the US vs Canada T20 World Cup showdown.
This will be the first time the two teams meet in the group stage of a World Cup, with the USA going into the match as the clear favourites having recently defeated a full Bangladesh squad in a bilateral T20I series.
The United States thumped Canada 4-0 in a series played in April at a nearly empty ground in Houston, where U.S. batsmen overpowered inexperienced Canadian bowlers, who conceded more than 10 runs per over in the powerplay.
