Canada win, and they do so rather comprehensively in the end. Their bowlers kept China tied down to a modest total, and a match-winning partnership between Frederic Baron and Roger Khan saw them across the line in spite of a heavy stumble during the middle phase where they were reduced to 129/5 with 96 runs still needed to win.

Code:
CHINA                224/7     50.0 overs
CANADA               225/5     44.5 overs

Canada won by 5 wickets (with 31 deliveries remaining)

Man of the match: Frederic Baron (Canada)

 
Just wasn’t to be honestly. The batting has been one of the weaker parts of our side and in the end 224 just wasn’t enough of a total to realistically defend. Still making the knockouts is a good result to take away from this tournament and it does set up the national team for future improvements. Good luck to the remaining sides this tournament.
