On the other hand, Canada have struggled throughout the tournament and currently occupies the bottom position in the points table. Canada put up a good fight against New Zealand in their last match at Chennai, where they posted a solid score of 173/4 but failed to defend the target.
Azmatullah Omarzai, one of the best all-rounders in the world, showcased an excellent performance in the last match against the United Arab Emirates, scoring 40 runs off just 21 balls, including 2 fours and 3 sixes. He also took four wickets at an economy rate of 3.8.
Meanwhile, Canada's opening batsman, Yuvraj Samra, played an outstanding knock in the last match, smashing 110 runs at a strike rate of 169. For the AFG vs CAN Dream11 team prediction, both these players can be the best captaincy picks.

A total of five matches have been played at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in this T20 World Cup. Teams bowling first have won three matches, while teams batting first won two games.
At Chepauk, which has one of the biggest cricket stadiums in the world, chasing is always a tough job as the surface slows down and spinners come into play in a big way. So, we predict that Afghanistan captain Rashid Khan will win the toss and look to bat first according to the AFG vs CAN Dream11 prediction today match.
