Bangladesh left-arm quick Mustafizur Rahman, famous for his clever cutters and slower balls.

The Story: The Home Team's Hopes
Every match in Canada Super 60 is played at BC Place in Vancouver, which makes the Anchors the only team playing in their own city. That means the loudest support in the stadium, and the pressure that comes with it.
For readers new to the format: Canada Super 60 is T10 cricket, with each team batting for only 10 overs, or 60 balls. With only five league games each and just four places in the semi-finals, every result counts. The Anchors' opening loss means they have little room left for mistakes.
An Experienced Leader
The Anchors are led by Moeen Ali, one of England's most successful white-ball cricketers of the last decade. He is a genuine all-rounder: an attacking left-handed batter and a crafty off-spinner. He has also captained sides in several franchise leagues, so he knows how to handle the pressure of short, high-stakes games.
A Bowling Attack With Real Quality
Vancouver's strength is its bowling. Marquee pick Mustafizur Rahman is one of the most skilful death bowlers in the world, able to slow the ball down and cut it away from batters when they are trying to hit out. In a 10-over game, where the final two overs often decide the result, that skill is priceless.
He is joined by England's Chris Jordan, a vastly experienced short-format fast bowler who is also an outstanding fielder, and Ben Sanderson, a reliable English seamer. Canadian bowler Ansh Patel rounds out the group.
Batting Depth
At the top, the Anchors have international experience in Aneurin Donald, who made his England T20I debut earlier this month against Sri Lanka, and wicketkeeper Tom Moores, a hard-hitting batter from England's county circuit. New Zealand's Max Chu adds more power.
Nepal's Dipendra Singh Airee is a big addition as an all-rounder, a dangerous hitter who has led Nepal at the Asian Games this season. Canadian all-rounder Akhil Kumar adds local depth.
Home-Grown and Associate Talent
The squad is filled out by a strong group of Canadian and Associate nation players, including Gurnek Johal, one of Canada's most promising young cricketers, as well as Mathew Spoors, Shubham Handa, Choudry Share Ali and Advait Dhabe.
