Canada's next opponent is the host, South Africa. After some underwhelming results in the new year and in their 1st pool match, they'll be feeling the pressure to perform in front of the country. Can Canada take advantage? The last time these two met in the U19 WC, six year ago, the Canadians gave t...

Not much can be said about Canada's second official warm-up against Australia. Canada were steamrolled by 9 wickets. It only took the Aussies 7.4 overs to surpass Canada's total of 114 with all the Canadian bowlers having economies in double figures. One match they will need to put behind them quick...
