T20 World Cup 2024, IND vs CAN Match Up: Top 5 Player Battles to Watch Out For

India and Canada will play their final Group A game in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 on Saturday. It is a dead rubber as the game will not have any impact on the competition. India have already advanced to the Super 8 stage, while Canada have crashed out of the tournament.

IND vs CAN Top 5 Player Battles

1 – Virat Kohli vs Dillon Heyliger

Virat Kohli’s form is vital for India with the big games coming. The run machine hasn’t reached the double-figure mark in the first three outings and he will look to make amendments by playing a big knock tonight. However, Dillon Heyliger could prove to be his kryptonite tonight as the Canada pacer has been in fine form. He has nipped 5 wickets in 3 games so far and he will be itching to scalp the biggest wicket in cricket currently.

2 – Aaron Johnson vs Arshdeep Singh

Canada opener Aaron Johnson is in good touch and he is coming off a half-century in the last game against Pakistan. However, he will be up against Arshdeep Singh with the new ball as the pacer has bagged 7 wickets in 3 matches so far. The left-arm pacer is breathing fire with the new ball and he will look to dismiss Aaron Johnson early in the innings.

3 – Suryakumar Yadav vs Jeremy Gordon

Suryakumar Yadav returned to form with a match-winning fifty against the USA in the last game. He is India’s main man in the middle order and Canada will look to dismiss him early. Jeremy Gordon is the second-leading wicket-getter for Canada in the competition. He will have to be at his best to scalp SKY’s wicket and pressurize the mighty Indian team.

4 – Nicholas Kirton vs Jasprit Bumrah

Nicholas Kirton is Canada’s top run-getter in the tournament so far and he will be eager to conclude it with a solid knock against Men in Blue. However, he will be up against the best in business, Jasprit Bumrah. The right-arm pacer can pull the matches single-handedly and he will look to terrorize the Canada batting in this contest.

5 – Shreyas Movva vs Axar patel

Shreyas Movva is the backbone of Canada’s middle order and he is a key player for them in the middle overs. Meanwhile, Axar Patel has been India’s main man so far and he will look to pick wickets in the middle overs while staying economical as well.
