With two games left in the ongoing tri-series between Canada, the United States of America and the Netherlands, the initial two teams get set for an important CWC League 2 clash at the Sportpark Duivesteijn, Voorburg.
The Canadian side is coming on the back of three losses and is yet to win a game in the ongoing CWC League 2. Yet they’re stacked third in the league table with eight points from seven matches. They have lost three games and won four so far in the qualifying stages for the 2027 World Cup. Meanwhile, the United States of America has played just a couple of games with a win and a loss each. They’re situated sixth in the table above Nepal and UAE.
Ahead of the crucial encounter, let us hover through the pitch report, head-to-head, match prediction and top players from the CWC League 2 clash between Canada and USA. 
Sportpark Duivesteyn, Voorburg Pitch Report
The conditions at Sportpark Duivesteijn are balanced, with both batters and bowlers in play. In recent games, the pacers have gotten the ball to swing early, causing problems for opposition batters. However, an aggressive strategy might counteract the new ball movement. While two games were won by batting first, the Netherlands were the only side to successfully chase down a total in the subsequent CWC League 2 tri-series.
USA vs CAN Head-to-Head
Both sides have played just a couple of ODIs with one another. While the USA won the previous encounter in the ensuing CWC League 2 tri-series, Canada was triumphant in the 2022-2023 ICC World Cup Qualifier Play-off at the Wanderers, South Africa.
USA vs CAN Squads
Canada squad: Nicholas Kirton (c), Aaron Johnson, Dilon Heyliger, Dilpreet Bajwa, Harsh Thaker, Jeremy Gordon, Junaid Siddiqui, Kaleem Sana, Kanwarpal Tathgur, Navneet Dhaliwal, Pargat Singh, Ravinderpal Singh, Rishiv Joshi, Saad Bin Zafar, Shreyas Movva.
USA squad: Monank Patel (c), Aaron Jones, Smit Patel, Abhishek Paradkar, Harmeet Singh, Juanoy Drysdale, Jasdeep Singh, Milind Kumar, Nosthusha Kenjige, Saiteja Mukkamalla, Steven Taylor, Shayan Jahangir, Shadley Van Schalkwyk, Utkarsh Srivastava, Yasir Mohammad
USA vs CAN Top Players Predictions
Harsh Thaker (CAN): The Canadian player is the leading run-getter in the CWC League 2 with 346 runs from seven matches. Thaker’s average reads 86.50 with the bat at a strike rate of around 77. The all-rounder is also more than handy with the ball and has the ability to induce crucial breakthroughs.
Junaid Siddique (CAN): The right-arm wrist spinner delivered a fantastic performance in Brampton during the Global T20 Canada’s fourth edition. Siddique recorded 14 wickets with a healthy bowling average of 14.29 over nine innings. He recorded the second-most wickets in the Canada-based league. The leggie has a knack for producing wickets and will look to continue his good form in the CWC League 2 encounter.
Monank Patel (USA): The captain of the American team, Monank has been in outstanding form with the bat. Despite an off-coloured outing with the MI New York in the recently-concluded Major League Trophy, he bashed a century in the first game of the ongoing tri-series tournament. Despite a duck in the last game, Monank is known for his consistency with the willow and should do well.
USA vs CAN Key Players To Watch Out For
- Jasdeep Singh (USA)- role of fast bowler, who is good with the new ball.
- Aaron Jones (USA)- role of middle-order batter who is known to switch gears quickly.
- Nicholas Kirton (CAN)- role of middle-order batter.
USA vs CAN Match Predictions
As per the match prediction bets, the USA opening pair have not fired of late. Hence, the Canada team (1.88) will likely have a better opening stand. Due to similar reasons, the USA side are likely to have an opening stand below 21.5 runs (1.85). Also, the highest individual score in the game could exceed 78.5 runs (1.85) due to the batting-friendly conditions of the strips.
USA vs CAN Winner Prediction
The Canadian side looks out of form currently. Despite playing good cricket, they’re falling short by a meagre margin. This is the perfect time for the American squad to capitalize on the low morale and win the game. The Monank Patel-led team stands favourites for the particular CWC League 2 fixture.
