The toss has delayed in IND vs CAN clash.

8:00 PM IST is the inspection time.

Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team is all set to compete against Saad bin Zafar's Canada in match 33 of the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup 2024 which is set to be played at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in Florida, on June 15 (Saturday). However, rain is once again playing spoilsport in this mega tournament as bad weather and the wet outfield have caused delay in the toss and match proceedings of the Men in Blue's final group game.

 

Delay in toss

 

The wet outfield and bad weather have resulted in a toss delay. The officials have set 10:30 AM local time which is 8:00 PM IST as the inspection time. This was supposed to be the starting time of the match but now there will be an inevitable delay. Hopefully, this is just a one-time thing and we can have a full 20-over match. 

 

Pitch Report

 

The pitch is known to be supportive of the batters here but it has also been under the shade of constant rain for the past couple of days and adding the overcast conditions to that, bowlers can have an enjoyable outing.
