Canada played its maiden World Cup in 1979 but then had to wait for 24 years to play another one. But the Canadian team made a triumphant return to the World Cup as they caused an upset by defeating Bangladesh in their first WC match in over 2 decades.

After electing to bat first, Billcliff's 42 helped Canada post 180 on the board. The cricket community expected an experienced Bangladesh side to overhaul the target easily, but Codrington's 5 wicket haul shattered the Bangladeshi batting order as they were skittled out for meagre 120. Canada won the match by a decent margin of 60 runs.

Canada failed to win a match in the 2007 World Cup, but won their match against Kenya in the 2011 World Cup. The Canadian bowlers shot out the Kenyan side for 198 after Kenyan skipper Kamande elected to bat first.

Chasing 199, a 132 run partnership between captain Ashish Bagai and A Hansra helped Canada achieve the target with 5 wickets in hand.
