The T20 World Cup 2024 will commence in Dallas with a match between long-time rivals, the USA and Canada. In April, the USA decisively defeated Canada 4-0 in Houston. The home team might have an advantage due to crowd support, with players like Corey Anderson and Ali Khan having experience in larger venues. Additionally, the rest of the American squad is expected to benefit from playing a season of Major League Cricket in front of packed audiences in Dallas.

Canada, on the other hand, has had more time on the Dallas pitch leading up to the World Cup. They secured a convincing victory in their first warm-up game against Nepal before a hurricane interrupted, canceling their final warm-up match and both of the USA’s scheduled warm-up games.
