CAN vs IRE is set to take place in New York (AP)

CAN Vs IRE: Team Previews
Canada
Canada, led by Saad Bin Zafar, got off to an excellent start in their tournament opener against the co-hosts, the USA. Riding on flamboyant half-centuries from Navneet Dhaliwal and Nicholas Kirton, they posted 194/5 batting first in Dallas.
However, the bowling unit, barring Dillon Heyliger, disappointed collectively, as they failed to defend the challenging target due to Aaron Jones' heroics.
Keep an eye on Aaron Johnson and Kaleem Sana, who did not have a great start in this tournament, but could be differentials in this fixture.
Ireland
On the other hand, Ireland suffered a humiliating loss to India, having been bundled out for a paltry 96 in 16 overs despite opting to bat first. The onus will be on Paul Stirling and Andrew Balbirnie to get them off to a flyer. Of course, they have the advantage, as their contest against India was played at this venue only.
Among others, Ireland would hope that Josh Little would fire against the spirited Canadian side. Little has the IPL experience and has every mastery to tear apart the opposition single-handedly. If he gets going, no one can stop the Irish side.
