While Bermudian cricketers put up a determined fight, they were ultimately defeated by Canada in a rain-affected match at the ICC U19 Men's Cricket World Cup Americas Qualifier. After winning the toss and electing to field, Bermuda had Canada on the ropes early, with two wickets down for just one run.
However, a resilient 70-run seventh-wicket partnership took Canada from 69 for 6 to 139 for 7, and they were eventually bowled out for a total of 147. Shivam Sharma was the top scorer with 54 runs. For Bermuda, Isaiah O'Brien was the pick of the bowlers, returning with figures of 3 for 34. He also took a low catch and contributed to one of the three run-outs.
In reply, Bermuda's innings was cut short by rain with the score on 94 for 6 after 34.4 overs. The Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method was used to calculate a revised target, and Bermuda fell 14 runs short of the adjusted total. Luke Horan was the top scorer for Bermuda with 36, while Toby Cox was the pick of the Canadian bowlers with figures of 1 for 9.
