Jacob Duffy to Dilon Heyliger. Reverse Swing-Out half volley, outside off stump on the front foot driving, in the air under control to deep cover for 1 run, fielded by Neesham. Canada have posted a competitive total on the board after a commanding start from their openers. They laid a superb foundation, going wicketless for the first 13 overs and putting the New Zealand attack under sustained pressure. Yuvraj Sarma was the standout performer, pacing his innings beautifully, blending elegance with calculated aggression to bring up a well-crafted century. The momentum shifted slightly after Dilpreet Singh Bajwa's dismissal. From that point on, Samra struggled to find lasting support at the other end, and the scoring rate dipped at crucial stages. New Zealand's bowlers, though initially searching for rhythm, gradually tightened their lines and lengths, pulling things back effectively in the middle and death overs to restrict Canada to a respectable total. Join us shortly for the run chase.
