Bagai and Chohan Inspire as Dawood Blasts Canada Home
The 200th ODI at Sharjah Cricket Association stadium was a special day for cricket worldwide and on Thursday Canada put on a show to ensure the day will not soon be forgotten. The game, a day-night match scheduled as a celebration of this historic venue came on the heels of a thriller played on Tuesday between the two sides that Afghanistan won by 1 run.
Khurram Chohan (4-38) led the pace bowling attack and they accounted for 9 of 10 Afghan wickets (Bhatti 2, Cheema 2, Baidwan 1) and showing the form that had carried Canada in 2009. Reducing the mighty Afghans to 38-5, they eventually tidied them up for 177.
Canada stumbled out of the gate losing Cheema (8) and Bastiampillai (18) but a 83 run stand between Jyoti (38) and Bagai (52) who continued his great run of form carried Canada close to the target.
Afghanistan however fought back and Canada lost 4 wickets for 27 runs putting the match in some doubt before Jawad Dawood (26*), batting in his first ODI wrestled away the match from Afghanistan blasting 2 quick sixes in the first over he faced before settling down and with Usman Limbada (14*) steering Canada home.
The match saw Nitish Kumar make his ODI debut for Canada, making him the youngest ever Canadian and second youngest player of all time to play in an ODI. Kumar bested the Candian record that was previously held by Ruvindu Gunasekara who deputed at 18 against Bermuda in 2008.
The two sides clash again on Saturday in a four day match.

Afghans sneak by in Thriller
Afghanistan continued their winning ways on Tuesday squeezing by Canada in a hard fought contest in the 199th ODI at Sharjah Cricket Association.
Batting first, Afghanistan sped out on the strength of a 205 run second wicket stand from Noor Ali (114) and Mohammed Shazhad (118) but some tidy bowling from Khurram Chohan (4-28) never let them get away as the innings closed on 289/6.
In reply, Canada's opening pair of Trevin Bastiampillai (33) and Rizwan Cheema (61) provided fireworks early on but quick dismissals left Ashish Bagai (91) and Sunil Dhaniram (56) to consolidate through the middle overs.
Bagai attempted to make a chase of it but eventually fell 2 runs short in the final over as the innings closed on 288-8 from 50 overs.
The two sides lock horns again on Thursday.
