Bermuda vs Canada Team Preview & Squads

Bermuda

Terryn Fray is a steady hand at the top and brings calmness to the BER side. His leadership style focuses on stability and building strong partnerships. With several youngsters in the squad, Fray’s role as a mentor will be crucial in this high-stakes match.

Bermuda’s batting order is dependent on Fray, and Delray Rawlins and Marcus Scotland for the stability and explosiveness it may lack. Sinclair Smith, their wicketkeeper, provides speed to the middle order.

BER bowling unit consists of Delray Rawlins, Derrick Brangman and Zeko Burgess. Brangman is their left-arm spin bowler, and Rawlins in the bowling unit adds an order of depth. Other options exist with Allan Douglas Jr. and Kevon Fubler, so Bermuda should have a reasonably good attacking bowler.

In their last outing against the Cayman Islands in the ICC Americas QLF on December 16, 2024, Bermuda put in a solid all-round performance. Posting 139/6, they managed to restrict Cayman Islands to 126/9. Zeko Burgess and Delray Rawlins were instrumental with the ball, keeping the scoring in check. Bermuda eventually won the match by 13 runs, sealing a confidence-boosting win.

Canada

Navneet Dhaliwal is one of the most reliable batters in CAN and an unflappable leader. He complements a long innings with the ability to switch gears and ramp up the run rate if necessary.

CAN batting lineup is formidable, led by Dhaliwal and backed by hard-hitters like Ravinderpal Singh and Dilpreet Bajwa. The middle order, featuring Shreyas Movva and Harsh Thaker, adds balance and adaptability. Yuvraj Samra and Akhil Kumar offer explosive potential in the lower order.

Canada’s bowling unit combines pace and spin effectively, with Kaleem Sana and Saad Bin Zafar leading the charge. Shivam Sharma and Sukhjinder Singh provide crucial spin options that can exploit slower surfaces. 

In their most recent T20I match against Namibia on March 23, 2025, Canada managed a total of 142/7 in Windhoek. Despite a decent start, the batting order couldn’t capitalize in the final overs. Namibia chased down the target in just 15.2 overs, finishing at 143/2. Canada’s bowling unit struggled for control, leading to an 8-wicket defeat.

BER vs CAN Outfield Report

Jimmy Powell Oval, Cayman Islands

The pitch at George Town generally favors batters early in the innings with consistent bounce and a true surface. However, as the match progresses, slower bowlers could come into play with grip and turn. Expect a surface that provides opportunities for both stroke play and spin.

The prediction is for bright sunlight, a light breeze, and temperatures are expected between 28°C (82°F), providing good conditions for a full-length game. Humidity may play a factor later in the afternoon, and may assist some swing for the pacemen.

Historically, teams batting first at this venue have posted totals between 145 to 165 in T20s. A par score batting first is considered around 155, while chasing anything above 160 can be tricky. The outfield tends to quicken up under sunshine, rewarding well-timed shots.
