AFG vs CAN Today Match Prediction
Afghanistan are clear favorites (around 75% win probability). Their spin attack — Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Noor Ahmad — is world-class, and their top order has experience. They’ll want to end on a high note for coach Jonathan Trott.
Canada have shown real fight — Yuvraj Samra’s historic century against New Zealand proved they can score big. If their bowlers take early wickets, they could make it close. But realistically, Afghanistan’s quality should see them through.
