2.03pm: Right, that's all from us here. Join us in six hours time for Australia vs Namibia and Nepal vs Sri Lanka! 2.01pm Here are the captains, starting with Canada's Saad Bin Zafar is up first: "Definitely, it was a bit disappointing. We wanted to play a positive brand of cricket and I think the wicket was not very helpful. It was difficult to bat early on - not a good toss to lose. We were about 25 to 30 runs short."

And here's Pakistan skipper Babar Azam: "Good for us, we need this win. We started well with the bowling, in the first six overs we know we had to be up to the mark. [On winning quicker to go level with USA's NRR] It was in our mind, to win before 14 overs but the pitch made it difficult. [On getting angry when getting out] Because I'm out with the same shot twice (against India)! This is my shot but sometimes you need success. I'll try my best."

1.52pm: Mohammad Amir is player of the match for his 2 for 13: "As a bowler you have to adopt the conditions, what the conditions are demanding. My role is very clear, what I'm going to do with the new ball and at the death. That's why I'm getting that success. [On Pakistan getting off the mark] That was a very important win. One more, who knows..."

1.49pm: Dil Dil Pakistan blaring around the ground, though not quite sure that was a performance warranting of the tune, regardless of how overplayed it is. They are still alive. That match against Ireland in Florida on June 16 could be a decider - unless the weather doesn't improve...

Heyliger to Mohammad Rizwan, 3 runs, Moves wide of the crease, tucked to the leg side... and they end up nabbing three! The fielder running in forgets to collect and has to go back. That's 52 from as many deliveries for Rizwan, who salutes the crowd. It's the slowest fifty by a Pakistan men's batter in all T20 internationals...

Heyliger to Fakhar Zaman, 1 run, Fuller, wide, slapped out to deep cover to bring up the Pakistan 100. Just three fours and two sixes... but they're winning I suppose

Heyliger to Fakhar Zaman, no run, Swing and a miss! Fakhar tries to boom one into the leg side but you can't trust the bounce off a length on here, and this one goes under the bat

Like many people in the comments, Waqar Younis is imploring Pakistan to get this done quickly
