PLAYERS TO WATCH: THE MAPLE LEAF STARS
Journalists and scouts have their eyes on three key players who could spark an upset for Canada:
- Dilpreet Bajwa (Captain)
The 22-year-old sensation takes the captaincy into this World Cup. Known for his fearless stroke-play, Bajwa is the backbone of the Canadian top order. His ability to anchor an innings while maintaining a high strike rate will be critical against world-class attacks like South Africa's.
- Kaleem Sana (Left-arm Fast)
Canada's "X-Factor" with the ball. Sana's left-arm angle and ability to swing the ball at pace make him a nightmare in the powerplay. He was a standout performer in the 2024 edition and dominated the recent qualifiers with 10 wickets at an economy of just 7.50.
- Nicholas Kirton (Batter)
The hero of Canada's first-ever World Cup win (against Ireland in 2024). Kirton is a calculated aggressor who thrives under pressure. If Canada is to post competitive totals against the likes of New Zealand and Afghanistan, Kirton's middle-order stability will be the key.
