ICC Men's Т20 World Cup 2026, Match 39: Afghanistan vs Canada

ICC Men's Т20 World Cup 2026, Match 39: Afghanistan vs Canada

Thu, Feb 19 CST7:30 AM CST

In a high-stakes finale to the Group D round-robin, Afghanistan and Canada face off in Match 39 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026.

Taking place at the historic M.A. Chidambaram Stadium (Chepauk) in Chennai, this fixture is a definitive "must-win" for both nations. Afghanistan arrives with renewed hope after a tense 5-wicket victory over the UAE, while Canada is fighting to keep their historic campaign alive. For Rashid Khan's men, a win here is the only path to the Super Eight, provided other results go their way. Catch every tactical turn live on Star Sports and JioHotstar.

Head-to-Head: The Emerging Challenge
Afghanistan has historically controlled this matchup, but Canada's disciplined performance in recent global qualifiers has shown they can compete with Full Member nations on slow, subcontinental tracks.

Feb 19, 2026: Their first-ever meeting in a T20 World Cup.

Historical Record: Afghanistan leads 2-0 in overall T20Is.

Recent Trend: While Afghanistan won their last bilateral meeting, Canada's recent upset over Ireland in the lead-up to the tournament has put the Afghan camp on high alert.

Team Form & Recent Results
Afghanistan (W-L-L-W-L) The "AfghanAtalan" are finally on the board. After a heart-wrenching double Super Over loss to South Africa, they successfully chased down 161 against the UAE on February 16, thanks to a masterclass from Azmatullah Omarzai.

Match 28: Defeated UAE by 5 wickets (Azmatullah Omarzai 40* and 4/15).

Match 13: Tied with South Africa (Lost in the 2nd Super Over).

Match 4: Lost to New Zealand by 5 wickets.

Status: Must win against Canada and hope New Zealand drops their final game to secure a Super Eight berth.

Canada (L-L-L-W-W) The Canadians have been the "grit" of Group D. Despite falling short against the UAE and South Africa, their ability to take games deep has earned them respect. They arrive in Chennai looking for a signature win to climb off the bottom of the table.

Match 20: Lost to UAE by 5 wickets (Feb 13, 2026).

Match 9: Lost to South Africa by 57 runs (Navneet Dhaliwal 64).

Selection: Led by Dilpreet Bajwa, with a heavy reliance on their spinning duo of Ansh Patel and Saad Bin Zafar.

Players in Focus
Azmatullah Omarzai (Afghanistan): The man of the hour. His career-best 4/15 and clinical finishing against the UAE have made him Afghanistan's most vital asset heading into Chepauk's spin-friendly conditions.

Navneet Dhaliwal (Canada): The tournament's "Anchor." His 64 against South Africa proved he can handle elite pace, but his battle against Rashid Khan will be his ultimate test.

Rashid Khan (Afghanistan): The captain. On the turning tracks of Chennai, Rashid is essentially a cheat code. He will be looking to exploit Canada's middle-order vulnerabilities to secure a massive NRR boost.

Ansh Patel (Canada): The left-arm wrist-spinner. His 3-wicket haul against South Africa showed he can trouble Full Member batters, and his variations will be Canada's primary weapon on the Chepauk deck. More
