Ibrahim Zadran batted fluently and kept scoring runs from one end despite the fall of the two wickets. Sediqullah Atal joined him and the duo took their team towards a formidable total. Atal was at last dismissed in the 16th over, but by then the Afghanistan team had a strong platform. Ibrahim Zadran was still in the crease looking to maximise the final overs. He batted till the end and scored 95 unbeaten runs, helping Afghanistan to a total of 200 in their 20 overs.
Afghanistan took early wickets and put Canada under pressure at the start of the chase. The Canada batting line-up failed to show much resistance and the wickets kept tumbling in regular intervals. Mohammad Nabi registered his career best figures picking up four wickets for seven runs from four overs. In the end, Canada were restricted to 118/8, as Afghanistan won the match by 82 runs.

Afghanistan vs Canada at Chepauk tonight feels like two very different stories colliding: Afghanistan, a side built for T20 chaos with world-class spin as its superpower, trying to leave this tournament with at least one statement performance; Canada, still chasing lift-off at this level, hunting their first points and a night that proves they belong on this stage.
With Group D's qualification picture already settled - South Africa and New Zealand have booked Super 8 spots - this is about pride, progress and player narratives rather than permutations. The surface adds its own spice: MA Chidambaram Stadium is rarely a place where you sleepwalk through an innings, especially if the ball grips and the spinners get even a hit of bite.
Afghanistan will back their spin axis to boss the middle overs, while Canada's hope likes in batting with clarity: survive the spin squeeze, take the matchup risks, and keep wickets in hand for the last five. History says Afghanistan have had the edge in this matchup so far, but T20 has never cared much for history when the first over starts swinging the mood.
