Canada's cricket team skipper, Dilpreet Bajwa, opted to bat first after winning the toss against New Zealand in their T20 World Cup Group D clash. The match on Tuesday draws significant attention as Canada strives to secure their first victory.

The team made a strategic change, introducing Shivam Sharma in place of the injured Kaleem Sana. Meanwhile, New Zealand faced issues with their own lineup as Daryl Mitchell took over the captaincy duties for Mitchell Santner, who was sidelined due to an upset stomach, humorously referred to as 'a dodgy burger' by Daryl.

The New Zealand team has also brought in Cole McConchie, replacing Santner, and Kyle Jamieson for Lockie Ferguson. Fans anticipate an intense showdown in this high-stakes match.
