Both sides are playing their inaugural T20 World Cup in a match with plenty of sub-plots to look forward to if the weather stays away from Dallas.
Match Details:
Teams: United States of America vs. Canada
Location: Dallas
Time: 7:30 PM local time
Overview:
The USA starts as favourites in this historic match-up.
It’s quite fitting that cricket’s oldest international rivalry will inaugurate its biggest World Cup yet, featuring 20 teams. Long before the first Test match between Australia and England in 1877, the USA and Canada competed in a three-day game in 1844, where Canada emerged victorious by 23 runs.
Now, 180 years later, these two teams will face off again in the T20 World Cup 2024 opener in Dallas. This match marks the first T20 World Cup appearance for both teams, with the USA qualifying as co-hosts and Canada securing their spot by winning the Americas Qualifier.
