T20 WC: Canada Elect To Bowl First Against Afghanistan In Final Group D Clash
T20 World Cup: Canada won the toss and elected to bowl first against Afghanistan in their final Group D clash of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday. The match also marks veteran batter Navneet Dhaliwal’s final game in international cricket.
Pacer Kaleem Sana is back in the Canadian playing eleven, in place of Shivam Sharma. “The wicket didn't change much in the last game, and also because of the dew factor. We have to fight stronger with the ball and not concede too many loose balls,” said Canada skipper Dilpreet Bajwa.
He also revealed that apart from Dhaliwal, Ravinderpal Singh, who is not in the playing eleven, is also retiring from international cricket after Thursday’s clash. “Final game for them. It's a very sad moment for Cricket Canada. Both of them are legends. One is our run machine, and one is our energy machine, so we are gonna miss them, and hopefully it is a good opportunity for upcoming youngsters in Canada,” added Bajwa.
