India and Canada were set to face off at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida, on Saturday, June 15, for match number 33 of the 2024 T20 World Cup. Scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM (IST) or 10:30 AM (local time), the game faced immediate challenges.

A wet outfield delayed the toss as Florida’s recent floods cast a shadow over the 2024 T20 World Cup fixtures at this venue. Friday’s match between the United States of America (USA) and Ireland was also abandoned due to rain.

Multiple inspections by the on-field officials for the IND vs CAN game followed, but ultimately, the umpires called off the game without the toss due to the damp outfield. Despite the absence of rain, overcast conditions made it impossible to dry the ground.

India Tops Group A in the 2024 T20 World Cup

India emerged as the table-toppers of Group A with seven points in the ongoing tournament. The team kicked off their campaign with three consecutive victories. The abandonment of their last encounter ensured they concluded the group stage with seven points.

The Men in Blue began the ICC event with a commanding eight-wicket win over Ireland, chasing a 97-run target on a challenging New York pitch. They then triumphed over arch-rivals Pakistan in a low-scoring thriller at the same venue, securing a six-run victory. Rohit Sharma and Co. continued their winning streak with a seven-wicket win over the United States of America (USA).

USA joined India in qualifying for the Super 8 from Group A, accumulating five points from their group-stage matches. Consequently, Pakistan, Canada, and Ireland have been eliminated from the tournament.

With the Super 8 stage approaching, the competition intensifies, and fans are eagerly awaiting to see if India can maintain their dominant form and clinch the title.
