T20 World Cup 2024: Toss for India-Canada clash delayed by wet outfield

FLORIDA: The toss for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 clash between India and Canada has been delayed due to a wet outfield here at Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium.

According to the details, the umpires will carry out an inspection at 10:30 AM local time, at which the match was supposed to commence.

Details further suggest that despite the tireless effort of the ground staff, the outfield is still damped and the weather is cloudy.

Earlier, a crucial Group A fixture between the co-host United States of America (USA) and Ireland was washed out at the same venue and thus marked the end of Pakistan’s journey in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024.

Besides Pakistan, Ireland were also eliminated from the Super 8s race.

The USA finished the group stage with five points in four matches. Whereas, Pakistan could attain a maximum of four points if they manage to beat Ireland in their last group fixture, scheduled on June 16.

Pakistan had a disastrous start to their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign as they suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of the USA in the Super Over.

The Green Shirts then succumbed to a frustrating six-run defeat against arch-rivals India in a blockbuster clash, that took place at a jam-packed Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on June 9.

The former champions then finally got on the winning track when they registered a hard-fought seven-wicket victory over Canada.

Meanwhile, India have already sealed their berth in the Super 8s of the T20 World Cup 2024 as the inaugural champions are currently unbeaten while Canada are fourth with two points.
