IND vs CAN T20 World Cup 2024: Captain Rohit Sharma Usually Doesn’t Change a Winning Combination, No Changes Expected in the Indian 11 Against Canada
It is anticipated that the Indian eleven versus Canada will remain unchanged since captain Rohit Sharma often does not alter a winning lineup. However, before the Super Eight stage, the Indian team management has a good chance to test its bench strength.
The T20 World Cup Group-A match between India and Canada will be played in Florida. The Indian team has already reached the Super Eight and will have the opportunity to correct its mistakes against Canada. The strong Indian team would be difficult for the Canadian batsmen to overcome. It is possible, nevertheless, that the match could be interrupted by rain.
Chance for India to Test Bench Strength
Captain Rohit Sharma usually does not change a winning combination, and it is believed that there will be no changes in the Indian eleven against Canada. However, before the Super Eight stage, the Indian team management has a good chance to test its bench strength. If this happens, the Indian team might consider allowing Kuldeep Yadav or Yuzvendra Chahal, or both, against Canada. In such a circumstance, India may need to rest Jadeja and Axar Patel. Axar has done well with both bat and ball.
There is a high Chance of Rain in Florida on Saturday
According to the weather forecast, there is a high chance of rain in Florida on Saturday. A State of Emergency has been declared in the city, and the weather is unlikely to improve on match day. According to the meteorological authority, there is a 50% chance of rain all day in Florida on Saturday. In comparison, the forecast predicts a 51% possibility of rain half an hour after the match begins.
If the forecast is accurate, it will be difficult for the match between India and Canada to take place, and the game might be completely washed out. Lauderhill is around 50 kilometers from Miami, which is dealing with flooding due to a tropical storm. This is a troubling position for tournament organizers who want to build cricket in the American market.
Indian Team’s Practice Session Canceled
The Indian team’s practice session scheduled for June 14 in Florida was canceled due to rain. Heavy rain is expected in Lauderhill, Fort Lauderdale, for the rest of the week.
