Warm-up Wrap: Disciplined Canada plot perfect start to T20 World Cup preparation with Nepal win

Injury scares in the Canada camp

Rayyan Pathan, batting at number three for Canada, played only a ball before he grabbed his hamstring and decided to retire hurt, in view of avoiding serious damage.

Pargat Singh, after dropping a catch of Karan KC, landed awkwardly on his left ankle during the 18th over. His reactions hinted towards a serious injury, with him needing to be stretchered off the field after physio tried treating him in the middle.

Immediately after this incident, Ravinderpal Singh grabbed a screamer of Kushal Malla but went down with cramps, sounding more alarms. To Canada’s good fortune, Ravinderpal recovered soon and continued fielding.

Canada will be playing the Netherlands on 31 May in their next warm-up match in Dallas, meanwhile, Nepal will be going head-to-head with co-hosts USA at the same ground on 30 May.
