Afghanistan bounced back with a strong win over UAE. Azmatullah Omarzai starred with 4/15 and 40 runs, while Ibrahim Zadran scored 53 at the top. Mujeeb Ur Rahman (2 wickets) and Rashid Khan controlled the middle overs. Their balanced attack makes them favourites in this AFG vs CAN match prediction.
Canada have struggled with the ball despite decent batting efforts. Yuvraj Samra smashed a brilliant 110 off 65 balls in the last match, but the bowling unit conceded heavily again. Without consistent wicket-taking options, Canada face an uphill task.
