SA vs CAN ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Group D match no 9 LIVE: Aiden Markram’s South Africa will aim for a dominant win over Canada to begin their journey at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday.
Published: February 9, 2026 9:04 AM IST
Last edition’s runners-up South Africa will look to begin their Group D campaign in the T20 World Cup 2026 on a winning note as they face Canada at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Monday. Aiden Markram’s side suffered a heartbreaking loss in the T20 World Cup 2024 against Rohit Sharma’s Team India but will be looking to put those memories behind them.
Since the T20 World Cup 2024 final loss, the Proteas have finally managed to break the ICC trophy jinx by winning the World Test Championships title by beating Australia in the final last year. They will now look to build on that success and go all the way this year as well.
Nine members out of the 15 in the South African squad were part of the 2024 campaign, including veteran David Miller – who was sensationally caught by current Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav on the boundary in the final over in 2024. Miller finally looks fully fit heading into the 2026 edition.
“I think initially he was quite frustrated. He got through most of the SA20 and was in a really good space. Unfortunately, he picked up a small niggle, and that would frustrate anyone,” SA captain Aiden Markram said about David Miller in the pre-match press conference in Ahmedabad.
“But now he’s in a good space. He’s been training hard, doing a lot of work with the physios and trainers to make sure his body is right. It’s looking really good, and the way he’s hitting the ball, as you mentioned, is a big positive for us. So I’d say he’s in a good space now—confident, excited—and it’s great to have David Miller in that kind of mindset,” Markram added.
Canada, on the other hand, will have a new captain in charge in Dilpreet Bajwa and have experienced campaigners like Saad Bin Zafar, Jaskaran Singh and Navneet Dhaliwal and are coming into the tournament with an all-win record in their last 5 official T20I matches. They will certainly not be pushovers for South Africa.
