T20 World Cup 2024 favourites India targets four in four against Canada

Rohit Sharma-led Team India made a solid start to their ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign. The Men in Blue showed their skill despite the challenging pitches in New York. After winning the first game against Ireland, the 2007 T20 World Cup champions defeated arch-rivals Pakistan in the second game and then secured a hat trick win by beating the USA. The Indian cricket team is in excellent form and will look to enter the Super Eights unbeaten.

On the flip side, debutants Canada lost their first game to the USA but quickly bounced back to defeat Ireland. However, their joy was short-lived as Pakistan defeated Canada in their last match. While there is no head-to-head record, the T20 World Cup 2024 campaign so far is sufficient to demonstrate India's dominance and conclude that the Men in Blue are highly likely to win the upcoming game against Canada. India and Canada have never faced each other in T20Is, and the upcoming match will mark their first encounter.

There is more than a 50% chance of rain in Lauderhill City, Florida, during Saturday's IND vs CAN game. Hence, the match might be interrupted by rain. Talking about the latest Cricket news, Florida experiences rainless day as the first half of Thursday remained dry in Lauderhill, where three crucial Group A matches were scheduled over the following days. Among these, the USA and Pakistan matches held particular significance, with both teams aiming for victory. Ireland and Canada were also in contention, with slim chances of advancing past the group stage.

IND vs CAN Match 31: Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, Florida Weather and Pitch Report

The upcoming India vs. Canada match will take place at Central Broward Park in Florida, a venue that has hosted over 17 T20I matches, with an average first-inning score of 156. Considering these factors, the first-innings score will likely be between 160 and 170, while the powerplay score is expected to range from 45 to 50. Heavy rain in Florida last week disrupted the T20 World Cup 2024, leading to the Nepal-Sri Lanka match being washed out and raising concerns about playing three consecutive matches over three days at the venue. Flash flood warnings complicated the situation, overshadowing any match probability. Nevertheless, there is a glimmer of hope as the first half of Thursday remained dry in Lauderhill, where three crucial Group A matches are scheduled over the following days. On Saturday, the weather in Florida is likely to remain cloudy, with a 74% chance of rain.
