USA vs CAN Probable Best Performers
Probable Best Batter: Corey Anderson
The former New Zealand international played a brilliant knock against Bangladesh in the first of the three-match series. He has a lot of experience playing against the best players in the T20 format. The all-rounder can cause a lot of damage, especially at the backend of the innings, with his six-hitting prowess.
Probable Best Bowler: Harmeet Singh
The left-arm spinner was the pick of the bowlers when the USA beat Canada in the five-match T20I series. He bagged six wickets in four matches at an average of 12.67. Harmeet would want to continue his purple patch against the Canadian batters.
