Canada went down to a 9 wicket loss against the Windward Islands on Wednesday in their first clash of the 2012 CT20.
Canada won the toss and batted, and took 9 off the first over. Surkari fell in the second however, and Patel struggled to make 11 off 16 balls. Gunasekera contributed a spritely 38 from 31 balls, hitting a couple of sixes but Hansra and Cheema failed to provide support. Raza-ur-Rehman, Zimabwe born and former Pakistan U19 player made his Canadian debut, and his 34 from 41 balls took Canada to 111 from their 20 overs, perhaps below par against a strong Windwards batting side.
Osinde led the Canadian bowling, having Bascombe leg before and bowling his opening spell of three overs for 13 runs. A required run rate of under 6/ over was always going to be hard to defend, and Fletcher (38) and Charles (61) took Windwards to an easy win with 3.3 overs to spare.
