Bermuda won the toss at the Maple Leaf Cricket Ground and elected to bowl Sunday. The Canadians finished at 205 for five in their allotted overs. In response, Bermuda was all out for 95 in 19.1 overs. Opener Aaron Johnson was caught on five runs with Canada at 26 for one. But Samra and Pargat Singh steadied the ship with a 61-run partnership before Singh was caught on 28 runs. Samra hit five fours and four sixes in his 35-ball knock before he was caught with Canada at 117 for four. No. 5 batsman Harsh Thaker finished at 49 not out. Derrick Brangman was Bermuda's leading scorer at 42 not out. Pace bowler Kaleem Sana led Canada's bowlers with three wickets. Canada faces the Cayman Islands on Monday, the Bahamas on Wednesday, the Cayman Islands on Thursday, the Bahamas on Saturday and Bermuda next Sunday.
