Canada lose to Leewards

Canada lost their second match of the Caribbean T20 to the Leeward Islands today. Canada chose to bat after winning the toss on a warm (27 degrees) and cloudy day in Antigua. Patel and Surkari got off to a good start with two boundaries off the first over, and another off the second. Surkari contributed 19 from 20 deliveries including a six before falling in the 6th over with the score on 34. The next three bats however contributed only 6 between them, and when Patel was stumped for 24 (26) Canada were 60/5 in the 12th over. Raza-ur-Rehman however is proving a useful addition to the Canadian team, and he and Hamza Tariq took the score to 90 after 16 overs. Hamza (16) was caught in the deep trying to push the score along. Raza-ur-Rehman made the top score of 30 but was unable to reach the boundary, and Canada were all out for 108 with 3 balls left.

The Leewards made light work of the chase, passing the Canadian total in just 13.4 overs, and losing only two wickets.
