The second match of the Netherlands T20I Tri-Series 2024 will see the United States of America (USA) taking on Canada at Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd in Utrecht. Both teams will be eager to secure crucial points in this tightly contested tournament.
Canada enters this game after a disappointing start to their campaign, suffering a 5-wicket loss against the Netherlands in the series opener. Despite Nicholas Kirton’s solid knock of 69 runs and Ravinderpal Singh‘s late blitz, the Canadian side fell short in defending their total of 152/5. They will be keen to bounce back quickly and improve their bowling performance against their North American rivals.
For the USA, this will be their first outing in the tri-series, and they will be looking to make an immediate impact. With a balanced squad featuring both experienced players and emerging talents, the USA will aim to put Canada under pressure and start their tournament on a winning note. With both teams hungry for victory, the contest promises to deliver an exciting clash at one of the Netherlands’ premier cricket venues.

Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd Pitch Report:
The pitch at Sportpark Maarschalkerweerd is widely regarded as bowler-friendly, offering assistance to both seamers and spinners. Batters often find it challenging to score freely, especially in the early stages of their innings, as the slower nature of the surface requires careful shot selection and patience. Previous matches have shown that while the pitch can produce varied outcomes, it tends to reward disciplined bowling and strategic play, making it a testing ground for batters who must work hard for their runs.
