Pakistan vs Canada Match Prediction
Pakistan are favourites to win this match against Canada. However, the minnows have enough arsenal to upset the much-balanced Pakistani side. The games at New York have been low-scoring and the team which can soak pressure well, will emerge as winners. Pakistan's team have not handled pressure very well in the tournament so far but they will take notes from their last outings against the USA and India and are expected to come stronger on Tuesday. Babar Azam's side has an 80% chance of winning the game as compared to Canada's 20%.
