AFG Vs CAN Match Prediction: The 2026 T20 World Cup is being hosted by India, with some matches being played in Afghanistan. This match is the last Group D match, between two teams that will not be making it into the Super 8.
Afghanistan, after reaching the semi–finals of the 2024 T20 World Cup, directly qualified for this tournament due to being among the top seven best performers two years ago. After a disappointing performance in the Asia Cup last year, the Afghans lost to Bangladesh in T20Is, then defeated Zimbabwe and the West Indies in the shortest format. In their two warm-up games before the World Cup, they beat Scotland and the West Indies.
The Afghans started this tournament with a crushing defeat against New Zealand. Then came their second match against South Africa. In one of the greatest games in World Cup history, the two sides played two Super Overs, only for the Proteas to take the win. Their most recent game was a big win over the UAE.
Canada was the only team to directly qualify for the final Americas regional qualifiers for the World Cup, which they topped to reach this tournament. In recent months, they have hung around the middle of the pack in the CWC League 2 table. They had two warm-up matches right before the start of the 2026 T20 World Cup, both of which they lost against Italy and Nepal, respectively.
Canada was thrashed by South Africa in their first World Cup match, losing by 57 runs. Then, in their second game, they were beaten by the UAE. They also suffered a massive loss against New Zealand in their third match.

AFG Vs CAN Match 39 2026 T20 World Cup MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report
While historically a little sticky wicket, in recent years, the conditions at the MA Chidambaram Stadium have been highly conducive to batting. The pitches are flat, with almost no support to bowlers, coupled with short boundaries, making it a batter’s haven. There might be a little something for the pacers here early in the inning. Overall, based on the progress of this competition so far, the tracks are expected to be quite balanced and competitive. The Arun Jaitley is usually a smaller ground. The square boundaries are generally around 60-62m in length, while the straight ones extend out to 68m, possibly 70.
