Canada posted a competitive 173\/4, powered by a 100-run opening partnership between Bajwa and Samra, before New Zealand chased it down with authority.<p>\u201cWe were a bit confident. Of course, we have one bowler short, Kaleem Sana, but we were a bit confident that ball's gonna spin. When Bin (Saad Bin Zafar) and the other guy was bowling, ball was spinning. But yeah, hard luck happened. The one bowler short affected us,\u201d he said after the loss against New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bajwa\u2019s 36 off 39 balls laid the platform for Samra\u2019s record-breaking innings, and he praised his partner\u2019s achievement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWe were struggling from top-order. In the last two games, we were losing our four or five wickets in circles. So our plan was to just take in the ground and as much over we can play. And I think, hats off to Yuvraj. He's just youngest player in the World Cup and finishing with a hundred this match. I think very proud moment for him. And I think it's a very proud moment for all Canadians that we had a hundred run partnership by opening pair against one of the biggest team,\u201d Bajwa said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Bajwa acknowledged the lessons learned from competing against a full member nation, as he said, \u201cWhen you play against these teams that we are lacking as associate and we learned quickly that in the last two games, we were losing wickets, but we planned accordingly and we did well this time,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWe were struggling from top-order.
