NZ vs CAN Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 31, ICC T20 World Cup 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match 31 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 between NZ vs CAN to be played in Chennai.

New Zealand find themselves in a must-win situation as they head into their final group game of ICC T20 World Cup 2026. South Africa have made it through from Group D, and one spot remains. New Zealand lost to South Africa in the previous game, but they are still front-runners to grab the second spot from this group.

New Zealand will lock horns with Canada in their last group game. This contest has a scheduled start of 11 AM IST on Tuesday, taking place at Chepauk Stadium.

Only a disaster can stop New Zealand from qualifying. That needs a horrible defeat here, which looks almost impossible. Canada have been below par and have lost consecutive matches. But they will like to hurt New Zealand’s chances to some extent.
