Pakistan secured a vital seven-wicket victory against Canada in their must-win Group A T20 World Cup match in New York. Opting to bowl, Pakistan restricted Canada to 106/7, thanks to a unified bowling performance. Aaron Johnson’s 52 was the standout for Canada, but the Pakistani bowlers, led by Mohammad Amir (2/13) and Haris Rauf (2/26), kept chipping away at the wickets. Chasing the modest target, Pakistan’s openers Mohammad Rizwan (53* off 53) and Babar Azam (33 off 33) shared a crucial 63-run partnership. Despite a slow start, they steadied the innings and reached the target with 15 balls to spare.
