Toss Canada chose to bat vs UAE
Canada captain Dilpreet Bajwa won the toss and opted to bat first against UAE in Delhi.
“I think it’s a batting wicket,” Bajwa said, “and we want to put pressure on UAE.” The same pitch was used for the India-Namibia game on Thursday night.
Canada went in with the same XI that took on South Africa in their opening match.
UAE were also looking to bat first. “But now we need to restrict them to a low total,” their captain Muhammad Waseem said. UAE made two changes: Muhammad Farooq and Muhammad Jawadullah came in for Dhruv Parashar and Muhammad Rohid.
This is the third match in Delhi this World Cup. In a day game, Netherlands easily chased down 156 against Namibia, and India beat Namibia in a night game. This is the first day-night match at this venue this tournament.
