Kirton blazed away to a 35-ball 49 and wicketkeeper Shreyas Movva chipped in with 37 in 36 deliveries as the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium saw 100 being crossed for the first time in the tournament. (Live Scorecard | Points Table)

HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE ONCE AGAIN IN THE 2024 MEN'S T20 WORLD CUP! On back-to-back days, two associate nations have defeated two Test-playing nations, both in Group A and Canada have picked up their maiden win at the Men's T20 World Cup. This is also the second-time they have beaten a Test-playing nation in a T20I game, both of those wins coming against Ireland who will be gutted and have been handed two successive losses here.

That's it, CANADA HAVE DONE IT! A first-ever win in the Men's T20 World Cup main event for Canada and their players are ecstatic. Another one that is dug into the pitch but this is slower and outside off. George Dockrell forces the pull in front of mid-wicket fn picks up just a single. Canda win by 12 runs!

Bye! Dug into the pitch around off and this one takes off after putching, Barry McCarthy can't get bat to ball but the batters manage to scamper through for a bye.

A golden dot ball and that should seal it for Canada! Good length right around the top of off stump, Barry McCarthy clears thye front leg and swing across the line but misses.

Short again and bowled at the batter, Barry McCarthy swings it away off the top edge
