USA and Canada are set to renew their historic rivalry 180 years after their first international contest. Despite USA’s 4-0 victory over Canada in near-empty grounds in Houston, the World Cup opener in Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas is expected to reignite fan fervor. Players will face the pressure of a 7,000-strong crowd, but USA may have an edge with experienced players like Corey Anderson and Ali Khan. Canada, however, has had more game time on the Dallas pitch, winning a warm-up match against Nepal before weather disruptions.
USA’s recent series win against Bangladesh, bolstered by key players like Anderson, Andries Gous, and Harmeet Singh, marks them as a formidable side. In contrast, Canada hopes to stabilize their bowling attack with the return of senior seamers Kaleem Sana and Jeremy Gordon, and they have already benefited from Ravinderpal Singh’s explosive batting in their warm-up games.
