SA VS CAN Match 9, Dream11 Team Prediction for ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Preview: The world’s biggest cricket venue is all set to host its first game of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2026. This game will be played in Group D. South Africa will square off with Canada in match no. 9. It will kick off at 7 PM IST on Monday at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Both teams will begin their campaign with this game. South Africa had a recent tour of India a few months back, and they had a lot of positives.
They even played well in the recent home series at home and won the series against West Indies. This is a tough group, and a defeat here can hurt the chances of qualification. These South African players have a lot of experience playing in India. They know these conditions, and the way they are playing their cricket, it seems they are expected to do well. Canada qualified for the T20 World Cup 2026 through the Americas Qualifier. They are ranked 19th in the T20I rankings as of now. They lost both of their warmup games and are looking rusty in these conditions.

SA VS CAN Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?
On the basis of current performance, Canada look among the lowest sides in this tournament. They have also failed in both warmup games and are struggling to get going with the bat. The pressure of facing a team like South Africa will also be there on them. Though they have a few good players.
They will be relying mainly on Kirton, Dhaliwal, and Saad, who are their experienced faces. But they have no match with South Africa in any aspect. The Proteas are loaded with match-winners, which starts with De Kock and ends with Rabada. The bowling looked a bit rusty for them in the warmup game, but they are facing a lower-ranked side. But South Africa are firm favorites going into this game.
