Join UsTeam India faces off against Canada in their last group-stage match of the 2024 T20 World Cup at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida, on Saturday, June 15. Originally scheduled to start at 8 pm IST, the toss has been delayed due to a wet outfield, following heavy rains in Florida on Friday.
A minimum of five overs per side must be bowled to constitute a game in this mega ICC tournament.
Weather Forecast and Match Prospects
According to BBC Weather, sunny conditions are expected with no showers predicted during the match. Temperatures will range between 15 to 18 degrees, making it conducive for a complete game. This is a relief after Friday’s washout of the Ireland vs. USA match at the same venue, which aided the co-hosts USA in qualifying for the Super Eight alongside India from Group A. Consequently, the 2009 champions Pakistan were eliminated from the tournament.
India Aiming for Fourth Consecutive Win
India will aim to secure their fourth consecutive win and enter the T20 World Cup Super 8 in style. The Men in Blue have already booked their place in the second round with a hat-trick of victories. They began their campaign with a commanding eight-wicket win over Ireland, followed by a thrilling six-run victory against arch-rivals Pakistan, and a seven-wicket win over the USA.
Canada’s Journey in the Tournament
Canada started their T20 World Cup journey with a seven-wicket loss to the USA. Led by Saad Bin Zafar, they bounced back with a 12-run victory over Ireland, registering their first win of the tournament. However, they were defeated by Pakistan by seven wickets in their subsequent match. A victory against India would provide a memorable end to their T20 World Cup campaign.
As both teams gear up for this crucial match, all eyes will be on the weather and the outfield conditions, determining if we witness an exciting contest or face another rain-induced disappointment.
