All games in the series have witnessed the USA prevailing over the Canadians, and the same result is expected in the final game as well.

Although the USA’s batting didn't fire enough in the fourth T20, they have a proven track record and skills, while their pace bowlers will look to come up with improved performances. Expect the Canadians to provide a good fight, but a whitewash is on the cards.

Prediction: USA to win the contest
