T20 World Cup: Canada's Johnson Feels New York Pitch 'levels The Playing Field' Against Pakistan
Nassau County International Cricket Stadium: Just before they lock horns with Pakistan in a T20 World Cup match, Canada batter Aaron Johnson feels the unpredictable nature of the pitch at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York has made the clash evenly poised for both sides. Canada and Pakistan will face each other for the second time in the T20I history after meeting in 2008. The Men in Green won that encounter and will look to replicate that victory in the T20 showpiece on Wednesday.
Canada started their campaign with a seven-wicket loss against co-hosts USA but they bounced back in the next match and overpowered Ireland by 12 runs. Pakistan have lost to the USA and India in their opening two Group A matches and will need to win against Canada to stay alive in the tournament.
Talking about their opponents, Johnson acknowledged the Pakistani players' experience but also stated the uncertain nature of the pitch making it a level playing field for both sides.
