USA vs CAN Match Preview

Co-hosts of the T20 World Cup 2024, United States of America will lock horns against neighbours Canada in the tournament opener. The USA side will be riding high on confidence after registering a historic series-win in the buildup to the tournament. They managed to defeat Bangladesh in a three-match T20I series, their first in the format against a Test-playing nation. USA will be keen to continue the momentum and use it to their advantage against Canada.

Top Players for USA vs CAN Gamesys11 Fantasy Cricket Team 

• Steven Taylor: Steven Taylor will open the innings. Steven has a fine record against Canada. He can make a formidable score.

• Monank Patel: Monak Patel has been a consistent performer with the bat, as demonstrated in the recent series against Bangladesh where he scored 54 runs in just 2 matches. Patel’s ability to anchor the innings and play crucial knocks under pressure makes him a reliable fantasy option.

• Dillon Heyliger: Dillon Heyliger’s selection can contribute with both bat and ball. Bowling in different phases can increase his probability of taking wickets.

Top Captaincy picks

• Corey Anderson: Corey Anderson is the most popular captaincy option for this game. Anderson will contribute with both bat and ball, and his recent form has been decent. He will fetch ample points.

• Saad Bin Zafar: Saad Bin Zafar is another popular captaincy option for this game. Zafar will contribute with both bat and ball. He has done well against USA previously.

Players to avoid

• Nitish Kumar – Nitish Kumar might not get too many opportunities with the bat or the ball and hence can be excluded for this game. 

• Ravinderpal Singh: Ravinderpal Singh might not be as effective and can be avoided for this game.
