Afg vs Can: Canada Opt to Bowl Against Afghanistan

Rashid Khan and Dilpreet Bajwa walked out for the toss in this Canada vs Afghanistan clash. Rashid flipped the coin, Bajwa called heads, and it landed in Canada’s favour. The Canadian skipper opted to bowl first, looking to make early use of the conditions.

Only one night game has been played at Chepauk in this edition, where USA defeated the Netherlands. While Chennai evenings usually bring dew, a steady breeze previously reduced its impact, allowing spinners to dominate as the surface slowed down.

If the pitch grips and turns, Afghanistan could hold the edge with their strong spin attack. However, a flatter track may balance the contest in this ICC Men’s T20 World Cup showdown.

Yuvraj Samra, Dilpreet Bajwa (C), Navneet Dhaliwal, Harsh Thaker, Nicholas Kirton, Shreyas Movva (WK), Saad Bin Zafar, Dilon Heyliger, Jaskarandeep Singh, Kaleem Sana, and Ansh Patel.
