The 39th Match of Group D in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026 will see the Afghanistan national cricket team take on the Canada national cricket team at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Thursday, February 19. The match will go live for fans from 7:00 PM IST.
Afghanistan are out of the Super 8 race after losing their first two matches, including a dramatic double Super Over defeat to South Africa. Although they bounced back with a win over the UAE, they failed to replicate their 2024 heroics and will now aim to finish their campaign on a positive note.
Canada, meanwhile, have shown promise in patches, particularly with the bat. Their fighting spirit was evident, especially in their last game against New Zealand when Yuvraj Samra became the youngest centurion in T20 World Cup history. However, inconsistency has cost them crucial moments, and they will look to pull off an upset to end strongly.
As both teams are ready to give it their all against each other, let's take a look at the weather and pitch report of the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai before Match 39 of the T20 World Cup 2026.
