-        Pakistan's bowlers showcased exceptional performances, limiting Canada to 106/7 in their allotted 20 overs. Mohammad Amir and Haris Rauf starred with two crucial wickets each. Amir's economical spell of 2 wickets for 13 runs off 4 overs proved pivotal.

-        Despite Aaron Johnson's valiant innings of 52 runs off 44 deliveries for Canada, their total fell short of posing a significant challenge to Pakistan.

-        Mohammad Rizwan demonstrated resilience and composure, anchoring Pakistan's innings with an unbeaten 53 runs off a run-a-ball, guiding his team to victory. Captain Babar Azam also contributed with 33 runs off 33 deliveries.
