The Pakistanis still need to beat No. 11 Ireland , improve its run rate and hope the 18th-ranked United States loses its remaining two matches to achieve its goal of moving on. Top-ranked India and the U.S. meet Wednesday with the winner assured of advancing and the loser still in a good position to join them.
"It was difficult to bat, especially early on. Not a good toss to lose," said Canada captain Saad Bin Zafar. "But I believe Pakistan bowlers bowled really well." Canada lost the in-form Nicholas Kirton, run out for one in the seventh over, in a miscommunication with Johnson, who accounted for 34 of Canada's first 50 runs.
The hard-hitting Canadian opener reached his 50 with a six the next over. But Johnson was bowled by Naseem Shah five balls later, exiting at 52 with Canada at 73 for six.
