T20 World Cup: Schedule | Points table
Afghanistan are coming off a campaign defined by narrow margins and missed chances. Their most dramatic moment came in the double Super Over against South Africa, but that effort was not enough to stay in contention. The focus now is on how their batting order works as a unit and whether the bowling group can generate sustained pressure rather than isolated spells. The matchup also comes at a time when questions about experience and transition are part of a broader conversation about team balance.
Canada enters with the momentum of individual successes that have drawn attention to their campaign. The teenage opener’s record-breaking century and strong partnership at the top showed the batting potential of this side. However, the mismatch with the ball limited their ability to control matches. Their final outing offers another opportunity to deliver a more complete performance in both innings.
In addition to the result, this game provides a platform to evaluate combinations, test tactical approaches and measure the progress made during the tournament. It’s also a chance for players to influence future selection decisions. It’s the last chance for fans to watch two teams that have produced remarkable moments despite early exits.
