Canada, after facing tough opposition in their first two matches of the world T20 qualifier, beat Japan in what was effectively a consolation match. Japan made just 97/5 from their 20 overs, a total that was helped by the 27 wides contributed by the Canadian bowlers. Canada lost their first 5 wickets for 46, with Sivanantham contributing 32. Durriya Shabbir (36*) and Sheryl Tittlemier (10*) put together a 54 run partnership that led to a last over win.
This means Canada’s women will now face Thailand in the Shield Competition – the battle for 5th to 8th places – in the ICC World Cup qualifier on Monday. The winner advances to the Shield Final to decided fifth place. Japan will play Zimbabwe in the other Shield semi-final.
