AFG vs CAN Match Prediction
Afghanistan has already been eliminated from the Super Eights race, but they still have a lot to prove after a string of defeats in the twenty-team tournament. The Rashid Khan-led side suffered close defeats against South Africa and New Zealand, knocking them out of the competition. They will be looking to put it all together with a good performance at Chepauk.
The Canadian team never seemed to settle in the tournament. Their journey in the global event began with a heavy 57-run loss against the Proteas, and it soon turned into a hat-trick of defeats after losses to the United Arab Emirates and the Black Caps. The Dilpreet Bajwa-led team will not want to leave India empty-handed.
