Afghanistan sign off with massive win over Canada
Daily FT
|February 20, 2026
IBRAHIM Zadran’s unbeaten 95 and Mohammad Nabi’s 4 for 7 proved too much for Canada as Afghanistan triumphed in this final match of Group D by 82 runs, signing off their T20 World Cup campaign and Jonathan Trott’s tenure as head coach in style.
-
In the end, a target of 201 was too much for Canada, who had the right idea when skipper Dilpreet Bajwa made the decision to field first given the dew to come. Alas, they were unable to keep tabs on Afghanistan’s innings, in part because of two drops that ultimately ended up costing 62 runs.
