Bat on? Am I to beat Canadian province? (8)
I believe the answer is:
manitoba
'canadian province?' is the definition.
(Manitoba is an example)
'bat on? am i to beat' is the wordplay.
'to beat' is an anagram indicator.
'bat'+'on'+'am'+'i'='batonami'
'batonami' is an anagram of 'MANITOBA'.
(Other definitions for manitoba that I've seen before include "Is Oman a bit in Canada, strangely?" , "sparsely-populated province" , "Canadian lake" , "Province of central Canada" , "northern territory" .)
