India vs Canada T20 World Cup 2024 Match Today: Rohit Sharma’s India will lock horns with Saad Bin Zafar’s Canada in match 33 of the T20 World Cup 2024 at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida on Saturday. While the former have already qualified for the Super Eight the latter has the slimmest of chances to progress to the next round.
Though India’s bowling has looked flawless it is the top-order batting that has been a chink in the armour of the side. The pitch in New York has been unkind to the batters, but openers who have looked to dig out have shown how to score runs. However, this game will be in Florida where both Rohit and Virat Kohli at the top would look to cash in.

Canada on the other hand has looked good in patches in games however, it could not capitalise on those moments and create further inroads to inflict damage into the opposition which has caused them their downfall. They have been one of the rare teams in the tournament who are playing with just five bowling options and it is something skipper Zafar might reconsider.
Here’s a look at the Playing XI predictions, head-to-head stats, venue records, pitch, and weather updates ahead of the IND vs CAN match
India predicted XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
Player to watch out for The Super Eight of the tournament will be held in West Indies and India might consider bringing in Kuldeep Yadav into the attack. Ravindra Jadeja has looked a shadow of himself and has been unable to contribute with both bat and ball hence he is the most vulnerable to getting axed if the team wants to get a wrist spinner in therefore he needs a solid performance on Saturday to keep his spot.
Canada Predicted XI: Aaron Johnson, Navneet Dhaliwal, Pargat Singh, Dilpreet Bajwa, Nicholas Kirton, Shreyas Movva (wk), Dilon Heyliger, Saad Bin Zafar (c), Kaleem Sana, Junaid Siddiqui, Jeremy Gordon
Player to watch out for Heyliger has picked up a couple of wickets against Pakistan and looked a class apart. He also played a key part in Canada’s win over Ireland. He possesses the ability to bowl hard lengths consistently and extract bounce off the surface which seems to have troubled the batters and Indian batting unit might need to watch out for him.
