USA vs Canada Dallas Pitch Report: United States of America (USA) will face off against Canada in the opening match of the highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas on June 2 (India time).
For the first time, the USA is co-hosting a Cricket World Cup, teaming up with West Indies for 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 Grand Prairie Stadium pitch report ahead of the USA vs Canada T20 World Cup clash.
This marks the first group-stage World Cup encounter between these two teams. The United States will enter as clear favourites, having recently defeated a full-strength Bangladesh team in a bilateral T20I series.
In April, the USA swept Canada 4-0 in a series held in near-empty grounds in Houston. During that series, USA batters dominated the inexperienced Canadian bowlers, with the new ball bowlers conceding over 10 runs per over in the powerplay.
