Lauderhill: The toss for the ICC T20 World Cup match between India and Canada at Central Broward Stadium was delayed due to a wet outfield on Saturday.

Both scheduled matches at the Florida venue were abandoned due to rain.

Although the weather forecast for Saturday’s game appeared more promising, the certain parts of the outfield remained waterlogged and required attention.

Umpires planned to inspect the field at 10:30 am local time (1430 GMT), the scheduled start time for the Group A match.

India had already secured qualification for the Super 8 stage while Canada had been eliminated.

The abandonment of Friday’s match between USA and Ireland ensured USA’s qualification for the Super Eights from Group A, with Pakistan being eliminated.

Group A matches will conclude on Sunday with a dead rubber between Pakistan and Ireland, as both teams are already out of contention.
