Fans are expected to witness a rain washout when India will take on Canada in the 33rd match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in Lauderhill on Saturday, June 15. India have already secured a Super 8 qualification and Canada are out of the race so the game holds no importance in terms of points.
Rain and thunderstorms have been consistent throughout the week in Lauderhill. The first match of this World Cup at this venue was washed out due to a wet outfield on Friday where the USA stormed into the Super 8 with five points.
India will target four consecutive wins and are playing their first-ever T20I against Canada. Rohit Sharma's men are likely to tinker with their playing combination to give rest to some of the key figures ahead of crucial Super 8 matches. On the other hand, Canada will be looking to end their eventful campaign with a win at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground.
