| CLOSE OF PLAY |
| England have won this must-win game by 51 runs. Canada lost early wickets but a 96 run partnership between Abdool Samad and Ashif Mulla raised hopes of a possible Canadian victory. But, the dismissals of Mulla and Samad in quick succession put an end to that possibility. From there on Canada played for time and ultimately lost by a margin of 51 runs. It is the end of the road for Canada but England are still alive in Group C and play their next match against Kenya on Saturday. Man of the Match is Paul Collingwood for his crucial 62 not out in England's innings. |
