Cricket fans across the world had their eyes on Lord’s for a thrilling World Cup final, but those in Canada were also looking towards King City, where the Canadian Under 19 team beat the USA by 5 wickets, thereby qualifying for the Under 19 World Cup to be held in South Africa from 17 January to 9 February 2020. Both teams had cruised through the tournament so far, with one sided wins over Bermuda, Caymans and Argentina. USA batted first, and a fine bowling performance from Canada dismissed the US for just 112 in 32.4 overs. All five of those who bowled took wickets. Canada lost five wickets, but passed their total with 38 overs to spare.
Congratulations to the team, coaches and support staff on achieving their goal!

CC Senior Men’s squad is undergoing vigorous training sessions each day in Sri Lanka. The squad is putting in its best efforts and had an intense center wickets practice at Panadura Sports Club ground. The video analysis were done for most of the boys followed by match simulation training. These intense training sessions are then wrapped up by cool downs in the pool and mental strengthening sessions.
Other than the physical training aspect, coaches are also ensuring that the squad is mentally fit and strong. With the countdown approaching soon to compete at the Div 2 qualifiers in Namibia, Captain Davy Jacobs and coach Henry are assisting each session with careful analysis. The presence of expert sports psychologist Dr. Neeta, the tour is indeed focused on skills strengthening. The expert team of Indian Institute of sport is also working hard with the captain and the team to understand the team dynamics as identifying that and understanding positive and negative outcomes that can occur is a stepping stone to knowing how to predict and build team performance.
The squad played a practice 50 over match against Srilankan Army Ordinance team where Canada won the toss and elected to bat, scoring 296 runs for the loss of 7 wickets and then defending it with a big margin of 100 runs.
Congratulations to the Winnipeg Hawks, who won the 2nd edition of the Global T20 in a thrilling super over match against the Vancouver Knights. Congratulations as well to the organizers on a great competition that gave huge exposure to the game of cricket, and provided outstanding opportunities to the Canadian players taking part.
