The drop-in pitch at the Nassau County Stadium has proved to be very difficult for batting. Two matches have been played so far at the venue in the T20 World Cup 2024 and the average first innings score is 87. Both matches were won by chasing teams. The pitch has been on the slower side and provided variable bounce. Batters will have to dig in to get their runs.

CAN vs IRE Probable Best Players of the Match
Probable Best Batter of the Match:
Lorcan Tucker is one of the most exciting batters in Irish cricket. He missed out against India and will be eager to make amends on Friday. He has played 10 matches in 2024 and scored 251 runs at an average of 25.10 and a strike rate of 130.72. The right-handed batter registered three half-centuries as well. The Canada bowlers will want to see the back of him quickly before he gets into his groove.
Probable Best Bowler of the Match:
Mark Adair put in a decent shift with the ball against India. He conceded just 27 runs in his four overs and picked up the wicket of the legendary Virat Kohli. The right-arm pacer is going to take the new ball and his spell is going to be very crucial for Ireland. He will look to get his team off to a fantastic start by making some early inroads.
