T20 World Cup 2026: NZ vs CAN Match 31 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket, Head to Head

South Africa advanced from Group D to the Super 8 level. The favourite to take second place in this match is New Zealand. In their most recent match versus South Africa, New Zealand has two victories and one loss. Therefore, New Zealand's final group match is a must-watch.

On Tuesday at 11 AM IST, they will play Canada in Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium. The Black Caps will want to improve on their subpar batting performance from the last game and come strong. Although Canada's campaign is nearly over, they can make every effort to ruin New Zealand's celebration.

MA Chidambaram Stadium Pitch Report:

This season, Chepauk Stadium has provided some excellent wickets. Here, the hitters have had a great time. Nothing much has happened for bowlers, and this will be a difficult period. On the other hand, the fresh ball will bounce well and have a seam. Therefore, it will be better to bowl in the first innings.
