SA vs CAN T20 WC Match: After ending their trophy drought by winning the World Test Championship (WTC) title last year, South Africa now have increased confidence in winning a world title. Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs were not part of the original squad but were included after Donovan Ferreira and Tony de Zorzi were ruled out due to injuries. Keshav Maharaj will lead the spin attack, while the performance of fast bowler Kagiso Rabada will be crucial, as always, on the batting-friendly pitches of India and Sri Lanka. In the batting department, all eyes will be on Quinton de Kock and Dewald Brevis. South Africa lost to India in the final of the previous tournament in Barbados, despite being in a strong position for most of the match, and that experience will likely weigh on the team.
On the other hand, Canada has not played much top-level cricket in the last four months. The team is playing in its second consecutive T20 World Cup, with 23-year-old Dilpreet Bajwa taking over the captaincy from Nicholas Kirton. Canada remained undefeated in the qualifiers, winning all six of their regional matches against the USA, including the final.

South Africa vs Canada Pitch Report: Narendra Modi Stadium

SA vs CAN T20 WC Match Pitch Report: The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium will be quite beneficial for batsmen today, as it's a batting-friendly surface where the ball comes onto the bat nicely. Fast bowlers might get some bounce and carry initially, but as the match progresses, spinners are expected to get some assistance in the middle overs.
The square boundaries at the Narendra Modi Stadium are large, so batsmen will also need to focus on taking twos and threes. Dew could play a significant role in the evening match, so the team winning the toss will likely choose to bowl first. A high-scoring match is expected on this pitch, where a score of 180+ would be quite competitive.
