1 wicket turned the match for Pakistan
The match against Canada also became difficult for the Pakistan team. On one side the bowlers were taking wickets and on the other side the attack was going on. Aaron Johnson single-handedly handled the Pakistani bowlers. This opener was maintaining the lead by hitting 4 fours and as many sixes. Naseem Shah sent him back by clean bowling him in the 14th over.
If this batsman, who was in great form, had not been out, the score would have been different. Pakistan's team looked uncomfortable even in scoring 106 runs. If Canada had scored 130 or 135 runs, things would have gone wrong for Babar Azam's team. Johnson was out after scoring 52 runs in 44 balls at a strike rate of 118.
