Pakistan keeps its hopes alive at T20 World Cup with much-needed win
Canada gets bowled over

Pakistan's Mohammad Amir celebrates the dismissal of Canada's Navneet Dhaliwal as Aaron Johnson looks on. Amir was named man of the match, taking two wickets for the expense of just 13 runs in his four overs.

Pakistan defeated Canada by seven wickets Tuesday to preserve its slender hope of moving on at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Chasing a victory target of 107, sixth-ranked Pakistan chipped away with ones and twos before an announced crowd of 16,328 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in suburban New York.

Usman Khan’s two-run shot off Jeremy Gordon with 15 balls remaining carried Pakistan to victory at 107 for three. Opener Mohammad Rizwan led Pakistan at 53 not out, with two fours and one six in his 53-ball innings, while captain Babar Azam added 33.

Opener Aaron Johnson led the Canadian batting attack with 52 runs.

Only the top two in each of the tournament’s four pools advance to the Super-8 stage.
