Keshav Maharaj with his second over and Dhaliwal plays out a dot before drives one through the off-side for a single. 

Two dots later, Thaker punches one to long-on to get off the strike. 

Dhaliwal then whips one to deep midwicket to retain the strike. 

Just three runs came off Maharaj's second over. 


Corbin Bosch is back into the attack and Dhaliwal goes on the backfoot ant and pushes the short of length delivery to wide of backward point for a single. 

Dhaliwal survives as Dewald Brevis misses a direct hit. Thaker taps one to backward point but the ball reaches Brevis quickly who picks up and aims at the striker's end but misses. The batters cross over. 

A dot and a single follow. 

Six! Thaker roars back and pulls the short of length delivery and deposits it into the crowd. 

Thaker is given out for caught behind but he reviews and the Ultraedge shows no spike. A dot to end the 9-run over. 

Canada need 130 off 54 balls.
