What Have The Two Teams Done Recently?
Canada
Canada, who had featured in the 1979 Cricket World Cup, have an overall ODI win-loss record of 24-67 coming into the tournament. In recent times, they have lost all of their previous four matches. In 2024, they are 4-7 on the win-loss record in ODI cricket.
They have eight points from eight games on the WCL 2 2024 points table, giving them the third spot on it. Recently they were involved in a tri-series with USA and Netherlands in which they finished with four losses from four matches.
Nepal
Nepal have played in 66 ODIs in their history and have a win-loss record of 34-30. Of course, most of their wins have come against the non Full Member sides. In 2024, Nepal have won four of the seven matches they have featured in, all of which came at home.
On the WCL 2 2024 points table they have currently just gotten off the mark with two points from four games with their only win having come in a shock result against Netherlands.
Quick Canada v Nepal ODI Preview
With Canada having had their struggles in recent times, it would be interesting to see how they adapt to the ODI format following a poor time in the T20 World Cup, an underwhelming result in the ODI tri-series series against Netherlands and USA and then just one victory in the T20I tri-series that followed against the same two teams.
On the other hand, Nepal put up a brave front in that T20 World Cup but it must be quickly added that they will now be playing in the longer format, away from home and that could be a question-mark. They have won just 16 of their 40 games at such venues and that could make things difficult for them.
