For the 33rd match of T20 World Cup 2024, India will be in action, as the Men in Blue will face Canada on June 15 at the Central Broward Regional Park in Florida for their final group stage game. 

The Men in Blue have already qualified for the Super 8 round, but a win would be crucial for Canada, as they have two points in three games, and a victory would keep them alive in the tournament. 

Having said that, if the USA win their match against Ireland, Canada would be knocked out before playing their last group stage game.

Talking about Florida, which is hosting most of the business end games of the group-stage round, is experiencing heavy rainfall and rain threats loom over several upcoming matches including the ones of Pakistan, India and Ireland. 

Thus, it is to be seen whether the tie would go ahead as planned or rain plays a spoilsport. This article will shed light on the preview, pitch report, playing XI, and broadcasting details of the IND-CAN match.

Team Preview

India

The Men in Blue are in solid form, as they have won all their games so far. Hence, the Rohit Sharma-led side are likely to make changes for the dead-rubber match for them. 

The 2007 T20 World Cup winners could bring in Kuldeep Yadav or Yuzvendra Chahal, who have not played a single match so far, as the surface at the Nassau County International Stadium favoured the seamers which is why India went ahead with four pacers. 

Talking about India's performance, Virat Kohli's form has come under scrutiny as the former skipper has amassed just 5 runs in three games and now it is to be seen whether he returns to No.3 position. 

Further, the middle-order that failed against Pakistan proved their mettle against the USA, where SKY and Shivam Dube stitched a 72-run unbeaten stand for the fourth wicket and helped India register a seven-wicket win. While the bowlers are on song the management would bank on them for the coming games as well.

Canada

Canada have emerged as a surprise package in this World Cup, as they have garnered fans' support and love despite losing two of their three games. 

The Saad Zafar-led side have shown intent against big teams and even holds the record for scoring the most runs in an innings (137/7 vs Ireland) at Nassau County Stadium, a surface where the batters have struggled to score runs. 

Canada are coming fresh off a seven-wicket defeat against Pakistan, but India still need to be wary off the threat that Aaron Johnson possesses. The Canadian opener was the sole star with the bat against Pakistan for Canada as he scored 52 (44), which featured four fours and four sixes.

The true nature of the surface would be revealed once USA take on Ireland on June 14 at the same venue. Notably, only Sri Lanka-Nepal was scheduled at this venue before this match, but rain played a spoilsport and the match was abandoned without a single ball bowled. 

However, taking previous T20Is played at this venue in consideration, the pitch is sporty, with an average score of around 167 for the team batting first. It will be best for batting at the start of both innings but will slow down, favouring spinners later.

IND vs CAN: Probable XIs

India: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli,  Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh

Canada: Aaron Johnson, Navneet Dhaliwal, Pargat Singh, Nicholas Kirton, Shreyas Movva (wk), Ravinderpal Singh, Saad Bin Zafar (c), Dillon Heyliger, Kaleem Sana, Junaid Siddiqui, Jeremy Gordon
