USA vs Canada Betting Tips
Canada to score low before their 1st dismissal ( @ Parimatch)
Canada lost the first game of the competition against the Netherlands. The team features Aaron Johnson and Dilpreet Bajwa in the opening order. However, the pair secured only 20 runs before their 1st dismissal. The team met in the five match T20I series in April where the USA won the series by 4-0. Canada were a prey to the US bowling attack and secured 16, 17, 15 & 23 runs before their first dismissal in those games. The sides met once in the T20 World Cup where Canada posted 43 runs before their 1st dismissal. Overall, USA has a pretty strong bowling attack and will limit Canada to score runs before they could pick the first wicket.
