South Africa vs Canada T20 World Cup 2026 Match Live Cricket Score Updates: South Africa would need to raise their recent form to challenge for the title as they open their T20 World Cup campaign against Canada, a team short on match practice but looking to make a strong impression, here on Monday. South Africa have only managed to win 12 out of the 32 games they have played since losing the 2024 T20 World Cup final to India in June 2024.

But at the iconic Eden Gardens in football-crazy Kolkata, almost 7000 fans who had turned up at the grounds on Monday starting 11 a.m, likely out of curiosity to watch the Gli Azzurri make their T20 World Cup debut, were treated to a Scottish showcase, as they eventually won by 73 runs. What was even more worse for Italy, they seemed to have lost their captain Wayne Madsen to a dislocated shoulder. READ MORE.
