In another exciting clash in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026, New Zealand will meet Canada in Match 31 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Tuesday, February 17. The BlackCaps are set to play their final group fixture and currently hold second place with four points, putting qualification within reach. Led by Mitchell Santner, they began strongly with wins over Afghanistan and the UAE before suffering a heavy defeat to South Africa, who chased 176 in only 17 overs. Qualification hopes remain firmly in their own hands now.
Canada meanwhile enter under pressure after consecutive defeats have left them searching for survival points. Captained by Dilpreet Bajwa, the side lost to South Africa and the United Arab Emirates, exposing frailties in both batting depth and bowling control. With only one group match remaining after this contest, they must produce a major upset to stay alive in the tournament race. Facing a confident New Zealand lineup on a spin friendly Chennai surface makes the task tougher, but an inspired performance could still revive their fading campaign hopes against strong opposition today.
