Netherlands and Canada are going head to head in Match 11 of the ICC World Cup T20 Warmup at Grand Prairie Stadium, Grand Prairie, United States on 31st May 2024. The Netherlands have found their form against Sri Lanka in the previous warm-up game. Who will win this game of cricket?

The Netherlands have a quality squad at their disposal with quality batting and experienced all-rounders that provide depth to the lineup and variety to the bowling attack. Despite recent concerning performances, including humiliating losses in a home tri-series, a victory in the upcoming match could help the team overcome past setbacks and approach the T20 World Cup with renewed confidence. Netherlands's Max O'Dowd, Teja Nidamanuru, and Scott Edwards showcased impressive skills with the bat against Sri Lanka in the previous warm-up game. Players like Bas de Leede and Logan van Beek will also look to make a bigger impact with the bat, while bowlers like Aryan Dutt and Saqib Zulfiqar will be crucial in providing breakthroughs.

Canada faced Nepal in their first warm-up match, with Nepal showing great potential in recent years. Canada dominated Nepal in the first game surprisingly and they will be looking to make it a habit going forward. They posted a humongous total of 183 runs in their 20 overs with Nicholas Kirton scoring a half-century. Nepal were expected to chase the total easily.

However, Canada's strong bowling attack was able to contain Nepal, restricting them to just 120 runs thus beating one of the promising teams in the World Cup by 63 runs. This bowling performance was led by players like Saad Bin Zafar, Jeremy Gordon, and Pargat Singh. Zafar was pleased with his team's bowling effort and now has various in-form bowling options for the upcoming challenges.
