Canada have won the toss and elected to bowl first against Afghanistan
Both teams are already knocked out of the T20 World Cup 2026
There is no forecast rain in this match
Afghanistan will play their last group match of the T20 World Cup against Canada at the MA Chidambaram in Chennai on February 19, 2026.
Afghanistan, which reached the semi-finals of last year's edition of the competition weren't able to qualify this time around. They have won one and lost two of the three matches played so far, which includes the double super over against South Africa at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
Their campaign have been a mix of unfortunate luck and some bad on-field calls leading to their early ouster from the tournament.
On the other hand, Canada have shown flashes of brilliance on the field, including a century from the 19-year-old Yuvraj Samra against New Zealand. However, the result haven't been in their favour, which is why they're loitering at the last spot in the points table of Group D.
