Praveen Kumar. You must have heard the name. This is the name of a bowler who was a master of swing in Indian cricket, who has now retired. But, why is Praveen Kumar's name prominent in Canada's victory on the cricket field? Why is Canada's victory over Netherlands being linked to Praveen Kumar? The answers to all these questions can be known after seeing the results of the matches played between the two teams in the tri-series.

6 wickets for 35 runs, after that…

Praveen Kumar shone in Canada's victory over Netherlands when Canada lost 6 wickets for just 35 runs. This match was played on 26 August, in which Canada batted first. After the first 6 wickets fell for just 35 runs, the partnership between Saad Bin Zafar and Shreyas Moya helped Canada's score cross 100 runs. After this, Shreyas Moya was out, who scored 33 runs in 26 balls with the help of 1 six and 3 fours.

Praveen Kumar's anger was visible after Canada scored 132 runs

The Canadian team managed to reach 132 runs for 9 wickets in 20 overs, in which Saad Bin Zafar's unbeaten 33 runs also contributed. Now you must be wondering what is Praveen Kumar's role in all this? So his name came into the limelight because he dominated the match with the ball.

Chasing the target of 133 runs set by Canada, the Netherlands team could only score 124 runs for 8 wickets in 20 overs. That means they lost the match by 8 runs. Praveen Kumar's bowling played an important role in stopping the Netherlands from crossing the victory mark. He not only made the Netherlands crave for runs but also took away 2 of their wickets.

The Indian who took 2 wickets for 10 runs in 4 overs is not Praveen Kumar

In Canada's victory, Praveen Kumar took 2 wickets for just 10 runs in 4 overs. During this, he bowled 1 maiden over. But, this Praveen Kumar who bowled so lethally is not the same Praveen Kumar who has been associated with Indian cricket. Although his name and work may match with the former fast bowler of India, he is Praveen Kumar of Canada.
