United States of America (USA) gear up to host Canada for the third T20 International (T20I) of the ongoing five-match series. With USA leading the battle 2-0 after clinching victories in the initial two encounters, the stakes are high as both teams prepare to battle it out on the field.
The hosts will be aiming to maintain their winning streak and secure another triumph to seal the series in their favor. However, for Canada, the upcoming game presents a do-or-die situation. Having faced defeat in the opening two matches, the visitors find themselves in desperate need of a victory to keep their hopes alive in the series.
The Prairie View Cricket Complex typically begins with a slower track, offering bowlers early assistance. However, as the game advances, the pitch improves, leaning towards batting. Given this situation, opting to chase seems to be the favored strategy at this location. However, in the previous fixture, USA posted a massive total after being asked to bat and won the game.
