Nicholas Kirton played a steady hand for Canada, scoring 27 off 23 after coming in with the team in trouble. Despite looking unlikely to reach 120 at one stage, Bin Zafar's crucial cameo of 29 from 16 deliveries helped Canada's cause.
The captain then punished anything slightly loose on both sides of the wicket. There was concern when he was batting on 17 as he appeared to have hurt his left hand, which is also his bowling hand, after a shot to long-off. He immediately called for the trainer. He managed to add another 12 runs to his total and bowled his full allotment of overs later, taking a wicket. Therefore, it seems to have been a minor issue.
The team's total of 132 provided hope for a bit of fight, which wouldn't have been possible without the efforts of Kirton and Bin Zafar.
