ICC Men's T20 World Cup Qualifier A 2022, Canada vs Philippines: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
Apart from hosts Oman and Nepal, Canada and the Philippines are also in Group A of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier A, which is set to commence on February 18.
This is a golden opportunity for both Canada and the Philippines to book their trip to Australia later this year. But for that to happen, the two teams will have to play some very good cricket against some of the much better sides.
Canada last played the T20 format in November 2021 which was also a qualification tournament as well. They ended in second position with five wins from six matches and will be looking to start their competition on a high.
The Philippines, on the other hand, qualified for this tournament after topping their group during the T20 World Cup EAP Qualifier. They haven't played cricket for a long time and it remains to be seen how they will pull up over the next few days of the competition.
