South Africa, the runners-up of the last T20 World Cup, will begin their title march against Canada on February 9. The wounds from the last World Cup Finals would still be fresh in the minds of the Proteas, where they bottled the run-chase after requiring 30 runs from 30 balls – considered a cakewalk in modern-day T20 cricket. As a result, they're still hunting for their maiden T20 World Cup come 2026.
You can watch the Canada vs South Africa T20 World Cup 2026 match from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE.

South Africa is coming off fresh from a 2-1 victory against the West Indies in the recently concluded T20I series, where opener Quinton de Kock looked in supreme form, amassing 143 runs in the series. He was also the leading run getter in the SA20 2025-26 season.
On the other side is a young cricketing nation, Canada, playing only its second T20 World Cup. In their first appearance in 2024, they impressed everyone by defeating Ireland (ranked 11th on the ICC men’s T20I team rankings).
However, Canada’s start to the 2026 campaign has been a bit disappointing, having lost both their warm-up matches. One of these losses came against Italy, who are playing their first T20 World Cup.
That said, the team is full of talent, led by their captain, Dilpreet Bajwa. Players like Yuvraj Samra, Shivam Sharma, and Kaleem Sana will be key to their 2026 campaign.
South Africa has been on the receiving end of a couple of upsets in the past. The most haunting one came in the 2022 T20 World Cup, when they were knocked out by the Netherlands, an associate cricketing nation. Canada will be looking to do something similar and dent the Proteas early in the tournament.
South Africa, on the other hand, will be keen to get their hands on the silverware for the first time.
