T20 World Cup 2024: Pakistan beat Canada by 7 wickets to stay alive

Mohammad Rizwan's coll-headed half-century guided Pakistan home for their first win of T20 World Cup 2024. The Men in Green defeated Canada at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York in yet another low-scorng affair when they chased down 107.

Rizwan went unbeaten on run-a-ball 53 during the run-chase as Pakistan were tested yet again. The Men in Green managed to chase the score in 17.3 overs with seven wickets in hand.

Pakistan won the toss and asked



Canada to bat first. Shaheen Afridi rolled his arm with the new ball but found it hard to get his length right initially. The bowlers found their spots quickly and kept chipping with wickets but Aaron Johnson played a gem of a knock. Opening the batting for the Canadian side, Johnson kept taking risks and kept the scoreboard ticking. He made a 44-ball 52-run knock, laced with four sixes and as many fours. 

Once he went back in the 14th over, when Canadians were at 73, runs came hard to come.
