Rain could potentially disrupt the India vs Canada Group A match of the T20 World Cup 2024 scheduled to take place at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida on Saturday.
The match is set to start at 10:30 AM local time (8:00 PM IST), but the weather forecast for the area indicates a chance of rain before the match, which could delay the toss scheduled for 10:00 AM local time.
According to Weather Underground, there is a 55% chance of rain around the stadium starting at 7:00 AM local time, which may continue until 9:00 AM. The cloud cover is expected to persist throughout the game, even if the chance of rain decreases.

Impact of Abandonment on Group A Standings
If the India vs Canada match is abandoned due to rain, the following scenario would unfold:
- India would finish at the top of the Group A points table.
- Canada would replace Pakistan in the third spot.
- Pakistan, already eliminated, would need to win its last match against Ireland to finish third in the group.
This abandonment would significantly affect the standings, especially for Pakistan, requiring them to win their remaining match to avoid finishing at the bottom of the group.
