South Africa are set to take on Canada in Group C, Match No. 9 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on February 9. The Proteas arrive with high expectations after finishing runners-up in the 2024 edition, where they fell short against India in the final. Eager to make a strong start this time, South Africa will be led by Aiden Markram and field a balanced squad featuring match-winners such as Quinton de Kock, Tristan Stubbs, Kagiso Rabada, and spin spearhead Keshav Maharaj.

Canada, meanwhile, continue their rise on the global stage after making their T20 World Cup debut in 2024, highlighted by a memorable victory over Ireland. They earned qualification for the 2026 tournament by remaining unbeaten in the Americas Regional Qualifier. Dilpreet Bajwa will captain the side, with experienced batters Ravinderpal Singh and Navneet Dhaliwal, wicketkeeper Shreyas Movva, and all-rounder Shivam Sharma expected to play important roles as Canada look to challenge higher-ranked opposition.
