Match 9 at the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup will see South Africa taking on Canada at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Monday. The Proteas and Maple Leafers are joined by Afghanistan, New Zealand, and the UAE in Group D. Let’s get into the match prediction.
South Africa were beaten finalists in the 2024 T20 World Cup. They have never won the world title in the shortest format, and start this campaign ranked fifth globally.
Over the past two months, the Proteas were beaten 3-1 in a five-match T20 series by India before securing a 2-1 series victory over the West Indies in the lead-up to this competition.
They played one warm-up match against India last week and lost by 30 runs. Tristan Stubbs top-scored with 45*. This is the first time these sides will meet in a competitive fixture.
Canada are back at the T20 World Cup for a second successive campaign. They finished unbeaten in the 2025 Americas Regional Final, beating Bermuda, Cayman Islands and Bahamas.
The Maple Leafers recorded a historic victory over Ireland in the 2024 tournament. Still, they are one of the biggest outsiders this year, given they are grouped alongside three full member associations in Group D.
Canada lost their two warm-up games to Italy and Nepal last week and failed to win any of their three ICC World Cup League 2 fixtures last year.

Our South Africa vs Canada Prediction
South Africa are massive favourites in this match to such an extent that some bookies are not offering odds on the win market for the Proteas, while Canada are installed at odds of around 15/1.
The value play in this match for us lies in the any player to score a half-century market. The Proteas have a solid batting lineup that has been active in the sub-continent of late, and we expect at least one of them to reach the 50-run mark. Our South Africa vs Canada prediction is any player to score 50.
