Key players to watch out for in CAN vs IRE
Navneet Dhaliwal (CAN)
Dhaliwal has a sound technique to negotiate the difficult Nassau stadium track, which makes him a preferred pick among top-order batters.
Dillon Heyliger (CAN)
His performance in Canada's opening game makes him a good choice, especially on a track that is expected to assist bowlers.
Lorcan Tucker (IRE)
The prolific batsman may not have come good against India, but remains one of the primary players to be picked in the eleven.
Mark Adair (IRE)
Adair is one of the leaders of Ireland's bowling attack and also provides a more than able option in the lower order, can fetch valuable points with his all-round skills.
Probable Playing XIs
Canada: Aaron Johnson, Navneet Dhaliwal, Pargat Singh, Nicholas Kirton, Shreyas Movva (wk), Dilpreet Bajwa, Saad Bin Zafar (C), Dilon Heyliger, Nikhil Dutta/Rishiv Joshi, Kaleem Sana, Jeremy Gordon
Ireland: Paul Stirling (c), Andy Balbirnie, Lorcan Tucker (wk), Harry Tector/Ross Adair, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry McCarthy, Josh Little, Ben White
Ireland should be the more confident of the two teams going into this contest, even though they lost comprehensively against India. But Canada cannot be taken lightly, especially considering how unpredictable the T20 format can be.
