Canada vs Ireland T20 World Cup Live Score - Ireland's experienced batters, Andy Balbirnie, Paul Stirling and Harry Tector will be crucial in their efforts to bounce back from the heavy defeat against India and revive their T20 World Cup campaign when they face a formidable Canada side in New York on Friday. While Ireland suffered an eight-wicket loss against India on Wednesday, Canada will also be looking to recover from a seven-wicket defeat at the hands of co-hosts USA. Despite the presence of several key players with experience in English county cricket, Ireland, who are participating in their eighth T20 World Cup, have struggled to make a significant impact in the tournament, reaching the 'Super 8' stage only once in 2009. Balbirnie and captain Stirling, with a combined experience of over 250 T20Is, failed to provide a solid start on a challenging pitch at the Nassau Country Stadium, while Tector, a veteran of 77 T20Is, also couldn't capitalize on his start. The disciplined Indian bowling attack bundled out Ireland for a sub-100 total, highlighting the need for an immediate turnaround. As Ireland prepares for their second match at the same venue within two days, they will be eager to apply the lessons learned from their previous encounter. Canada, making their World Cup debut, will draw confidence from their T20 World Cup Qualifier match against Ireland in 2019, where they inflicted a resounding 10-wicket defeat on the Irish team. Skipper Navneet Dhaliwal, a seasoned top-order batter who was part of that 2019 victory, will be a key player for Canada. Despite the defeat against the USA, Canada can take heart from their impressive total of 194 and will aim to replicate that performance against Ireland.
