Afghanistan Vs Canada, ICC T20 World Cup 2026: Ibrahim Zadran, Mohammad Nabi Power Afghans' Win

Afghanistan, powered by a belligerent unbeaten half-century by opener Ibrahim Zadran and a fine bowling display by Mohammad Nabi, defeated Canada by 82 runs in an inconsequential ICC T20 World Cup 2026, Group D match in Chennai on Thursday (February 19). Sent in to bat in their final match of the tournament, the Afghans posted a formidable 200 for 4, with Zadran blazing an unbeaten 95 off 56 balls and forging a 95-run third-wicket partnership with Sediqullah Atal (44 off 32). Canada were then restricted to 118 for 8 with Mohammad Nabi (4/7) and Rashid Khan (2/19) taking four and two wickets respectively.
