South Africa will be led by Aiden Markram and are coming into this tournament on the back of a T20I series win against the West Indies. On the other hand, Canada will be led by Dilpreet Bajwa. They have played a few warm-up matches and the preparations have been good. This should be an exciting match and South Africa will start as favourites. However, the T20 format is known for surprises, so it will be interesting to see how the match unfolds.
South Africa's wicketkeeper-batsman Quinton de Kock is currently in excellent form, scoring 407 runs in the last 10 T20Is. He scored a brilliant hundred in the last series against West Indies, while South Africa skipper Aiden Markram scored 103 runs at a strike rate of 163 in the same series. Both are among the best T20 batsmen and will be the most popular candidates for captaincy in the SA vs CAN Dream11 team prediction.
According to the Narendra Modi Stadium pitch report, the surface will provide early assistance for the seamers. However, dew can play a role during the second innings of the match. Overall, the pitch will provide a balanced contest between bat and ball.
