New Zealand will look to avoid losing to Canada as they wind up their group stage engagements in the 2026 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. This Group D match on Tuesday in Chennai between the fifth-placed ‘Maple Leafers’ and the second-placed ‘Black Caps’ comes with our prediction of Mark Chapman scoring at least 21 runs.
Canada lost both their matches in the tournament and are bottom of the standings, with a negative run rate of 1.526. New Zealand have four points from three matches (W2, L1) and are behind South Africa, who have six points from their three games.
Canada started the tournament with very little hope of progressing out of the group stage. They started with a humbling 57-run loss to South Africa. They had a better chance against the UAE but lost control of key moments to lose by five wickets.
Navneet Dhaliwal (98 runs) has been the best batsman for Canada in this tournament. Among the bowlers, Saad Bin Zafar and Ansh Patel have three wickets each.
New Zealand defeated Afghanistan by five wickets to start their campaign. They then blazed past the UAE by 10 wickets. The only blip came against the Proteas.
Tim Seifert (167 runs) has been New Zealand’s best batter in the tournament, while Lockie Ferguson’s four wickets is the best tally among their bowlers.

Our Canada vs New Zealand Prediction
New Zealand were given a reality check by South Africa on Saturday in a seven-wicket loss. That didn’t put them out of the Super 8 qualification landscape, but the Kiwis have no red flags yet. A win here will see them go through the group stage without depending on other results. Canada may not be able to pull an upset here, going by how they have fared in this tournament.
There’s no value in backing a Kiwi win, so our Canada vs New Zealand prediction is Mark Chapman over 20.5 runs.
