ICC U19 World Cup, Match 17, Bangladesh U19 vs Canada U19: Probable XIs, match prediction, weather forecast and pitch report

Bangladesh will lock horns with Canada in the 17th match of the ICC Under 19 Cricket World Cup. Conaree Sports Club in Basseterre will host this Group A clash.

Bangladesh are reeling at the bottom of Group A, having lost their opening fixture against England by seven wickets. After electing to bat first, the batters failed to adapt to the conditions. The English bowlers ran through their batting lineup as Bangladesh were bundled out on 97.

The bowlers then tried hard and picked up three wickets but not enough runs on the board resulted in them losing the game. It was a disappointing display from the defending champions against the English side and they need to be at their best against Canada in their next game.

Canada, on the other hand, have lost both the games they have played so far. They suffered a 106-run defeat to England in their last match. Bowling first, the Canadian bowlers struggled to keep a check on the scoring rate as the English side posted 320 on the board.

The batters tried hard in the chase but kept losing wickets at regular intervals as they were knocked over on 214.

Canada have to be on their toes while facing Bangladesh in their upcoming clash.
