When bin

Saad Bin Zafar: Despite a spirited fight, Canada fell short against a rampaging New Zealand, but captain Dilpreet Bajwa was proud of his team’s historic effort, particularly the standout performance from 19-year-old Yuvraj Samra. 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.

“We 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,” he said after the loss against New Zealand.

Bajwa’s 36 off 39 balls laid the platform for Samra’s record-breaking innings, and he praised his partner’s achievement.
