The tournament’s co-hosts will come into the fixture on the back of a historic series victory against Bangladesh and two abandoned warm-up fixtures against Bangladesh and Nepal.
On the other hand, Canada will enter the tournament after a 4-0 defeat to the United States in a five-match series. However, their victory against Nepal in one of their warm-up fixtures should give them a little bit of confidence going into the tie.
The United States and Canada have faced off each other seven times and the Monank Patel-led USA have clinched five victories with Canada winning just two.
