World T20 League 2024

IND vs. CAN, 33rd Match

Preview

India and Canada will cross swords for the 33rd match of the World T20 League on Saturday, June 15. The game will be hosted at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Florida. 

With three feathers to their cap, the Men in Blue have qualified for the Super 8 in first place from Group A. Saad Bin Zafar and Co, on the other hand, tasted a 7-wicket defeat in their last match but a win against India can boost their morale as they exit from the World stage. 

Rohit Sharma and the boys seem to be this tournament's most balanced team. Team India is not suffering much despite their key players Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli not contributing consistently. The one-time champions have so far shown depth with both the bat and the ball. Rishabh Pant has been sensational with the bat while Suryakumar Yadav has demonstrated great character against the USA in the last match. Hardik has also improved his performance when compared to his Indian T20 League 2024 stint as Mumbai’s captain. India can also plan to introduce Kuldeep Yadav as a possible spin option replacing Ravindra Jadeja due to his poor form.

Although Canada looked in good shape against Pakistan in their previous match. Opener Aaron Johnson stuck a half-century but didn’t receive much support from the other side. They will probably try to pull off an upset when they face India in the upcoming fixture.

Match Details

Match: World T20 League 2024, IND vs CAN, 33rd Match

Date: Saturday, June 15, 2024

Time: 08:00 PM IST

Venue: Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground, Lauderhill, Florida

Pitch and Weather Report

The surface conditions in the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Florida have favoured the sides batting first. The new ball comes to the bat nicely, allowing good batting conditions but also provides generous seam movement for the pacers. The pitch also tends to slow down as the match progresses, hence assisting the spin bowlers. Therefore there are high chances that the team winning the toss will choose to bat first. 

The weather forecast looks better for Lauderhill on Saturday after a rough patch of wind and rain. The game seems to be playable but with high chances of a washout but we keep hope for the positives.

Match Prediction

Canada will face one of the greatest cricketing sides in this match. Their batting side is struggling and they would come against one of the most fierciest bowling attacks. India’s clinical performance in every match so far indicates them as the clear runners of victory against Canada in this fixture.
