Canada will take on Italy in Match 3 of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 Warm-up Matches.
Canada are coming into this match with confidence after a six-wicket win against Bermuda in the T20 World Cup Americas Qualifier. Their batting and bowling units looked balanced, and the team showed good control while chasing the target.
Italy, on the other hand, recently played a T20I series against Ireland. Although they lost the series, they ended it on a positive note by winning the final match by four wickets. Italy are new to this level, but they have a few experienced players who can surprise the opposition.
Players like Nicholas Kirton and JJ Smuts will be key in this match. Both are reliable all-rounders and good captaincy options for Dream11 teams. The match will be played at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, where spinners usually play an important role.

CAN VS ITA Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?
Canada look like the stronger and more balanced side in this match. They have players who are familiar with slow and spinning conditions, which will help them at Chennai. Their bowling attack, especially the spinners, gives them an edge.
Italy have some good all-rounders, but their lack of experience at this level may hurt them. If their top order fails, it will be difficult for them to recover.
Prediction: Canada are favourites to win this match.
