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.<br \/>\nOsinde led the Canadian bowling, having Bascombe leg before and bowling his opening spell of three overs for 13 runs.
