India vs Canada T20 World Cup 2024 match abandoned despite no rain

The 33rd game of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024 between India and Canada has been abandoned without a ball being bowled. The game was scheduled to be played at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida.

This is the third game in the ongoing T20 World Cup that has been abandoned without a ball being bowled and incidentally, all the games were scheduled to be held in Lauderhill. Earlier this week, the game between Sri Lanka and Nepal was abandoned as well. The washed-out game resulted in Sri Lanka getting knocked out of the tournament.

On Friday (June 14), the game between USA and Ireland was abandoned as well. As a result, the USA qualified for the Super 8s while Pakistan were knocked out. Unlike the last two washouts, the latest washout won't make any impact on the team's fate as India had already qualified for the Super 8s while Canada were knocked out.

The umpires and the ground-staff members tried their best for the game between India and Canada to begin but eventually gave up due to the wet outfield. After an inspection at around 9:00 PM (IST), the umpires spoke to the chief groundsman before deciding to call off the game.

India and Canada's run so far:

Team India have finished their group stage campaign unbeaten. The Men in Blue began their campaign with an 8-wicket win over Ireland before beating arch-rivals Pakistan by 6 runs in a thrilling clash. In the third game, India thrashed the USA by seven wickets to confirm their spot in the Super 8s. After playing all of their group stage games in the USA, India will now be playing their Super 8s games in the Caribbeans.

On the other hand, Canada ended their campaign in the T20 World Cup with one win. In their first game, they suffered a 7-wicket loss against the USA before beating Ireland by 12 runs. It was followed by a 7-wicket defeat against Pakistan.
