Alright, so I’m sitting here, thinking about how Canada just slotted itself into the cricket world big leagues. What a trip! We’re talking about the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. Canada nailed their spot after a smashing seven-wicket victory against the Bahamas. Honestly, I couldn’t have done that even if I tried. This all went down in Ontario, and seriously, I can’t get over the fact that our folks managed five wins on the trot. Bermuda, Cayman Islands, whoever we faced, it was like—bam, out of the park! This isn’t the first time either. Nope, Canada made it back in 2024 too. What’s that saying? Lightning strikes twice or something.
So, let’s dive in a bit, okay? Canada was playing at home, right? No USA in sight. They were already through, so it’s like Canada stepped onto the field as if to say, “Hey, we’ve got this.” Favorites? Definitely! And it showed. They smacked Bermuda by 110 runs; I mean, are you kidding? Then they went on to crush the Cayman Islands and Bahamas like it was just a laid-back afternoon. Oh, and the rain didn’t even slow them down in that other match. Like, nothing stopped them.
In the last game, Bahamas must have thought, “We’ve got a shot.” Spoiler alert—they didn’t. 57 runs, all out. Kaleem and Shivam tearing it up with those wickets, and then Ansh coming in with that super stingy bowling. Our batters didn’t waste time either. Dilpreet Bajwa, remember the name, smashed a quick 36. Blink and you’d miss it, right?
Anyway, looking forward—here we are, heading into 2026 with some big names: India, Sri Lanka, Australia, England, and more. I mean, Canada might be the underdogs, but watch out world! This team under Nicholas Kirton, they’ve got the talent. I feel it. A blend of super-fast batting and killer bowling? Sounds like a lethal combo to me.
Oh, by the way, did you catch that insane six by Kyle Mayers in MLC ’25? Crazy stuff! Anyway, back to Canada—no idea what’ll happen next, but it’s gonna be one heck of a ride.
