Wet outfield delays toss for India-Canada match in T20 World Cup
LAUDERHILL, Florida (AP) — The toss for the India-Canada game in the Twenty20 World Cup was delayed Saturday after overnight rains caused a wet outfield at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium.
India has already qualified for the second round — Super Eight — with victories over Ireland, Pakistan and the United States in Group A.
Canada has been eliminated, having lost two of its three games. Its win came against Ireland. The U.S. is the second team to qualify from this group, knocking Pakistan out of the tournament.
Rain and flash floods in Florida have been a threat to the games this weekend. On Friday, the U.S.-Ireland game was abandoned without a ball bowled.
While there has been little or no rain on Saturday morning, the wet outfield from Friday remained.
