Watch cricket video highlights of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 thirty-third match between India vs Canada. Venue of the match will be Lauderhill.
In Lauderhill, Friday was a washout, while Thursday was dry. The weather for Saturday morning is not looking good; sporadic thunderstorms are expected throughout day. India may decide to bench one of its fast bowlers in favor of Kuldeep, whose wristspin may come in handy during the West Indies Super Eight stage. The decision by Canada to replace Dilpreet Bajwa with Ravinderpal Singh did not pan out, as Ravinderpal was out for a second-ball duck. They may return to Bajwa in opposition to India.
While Hardik Pandya hasn’t done much with the bat, he’s been useful with the ball. With seven wickets in three games, he is tied for the most wickets taken by India in the championship thus far. He has also restrained hitters in the middle overs. Hardik completed the New York leg with an economy of 5.41 after hitting those hard distances.
Aaron Johnson, who only made his T20I debut in November 2022, already ranks second in Canada in terms of run scoring. With four fifties and a century in his first seven Twenty20 International innings, he enjoyed an amazing start to his international career and has continued to perform well. Since the beginning of 2023, Johnson has amassed 400 runs in 12 innings more than any other Canadian hitter. He is riding high after a solid 52 against Pakistan going into this match.
India hopes to advance to the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup without losing a match, while Canada will face their hardest test of the competition. However, the outcome of the match will depend on the Florida weather. The USA vs. Ireland match on Friday was rained out at the location, while Saturday is expected to be 85% cloudy. India may try out their bench strength if the match proceeds. Despite fielding the same lineup for their first three group matches, they may start players like Kuldeep Yadav or Sanju Samson now that they are guaranteed a spot in the Super Eight and won’t have a point advantage.
Virat Kohli’s final opportunity to get back on track before the more tough Super Eight round is against India in their final group match. He is among the hitters who are most eager to leave New York. With scores of 4, 1, and 0 after moving to the top of the order, Kohli is not even in the top 150 run scorers in the event. However, his performance in Florida is not very noteworthy: 63 runs in three innings at an average of 21.0.
Canada was eliminated after winning just two of their first three games, while the USA and India confirmed their Super Eight berths from Group A. Despite this, they have shown some competitiveness in their maiden T20 World Cup, winning easily against Ireland and scoring 194 against the USA in their initial match. They will want to finish as strong as possible against their most well-known opponents, having even given Pakistan a fright.
