In Lauderhill, Florida, on Saturday, India and Canada will play their third game of the event in the city. With three straight wins, India has already won their spot in the Super 8, while Canada's chances of moving on are slim. They would need to beat India by a huge margin and hope that other things would go their way.
Possible Lineup for India
Since India has already made it to the next round, they may make a few changes to their starting eleven. They might play Kuldeep Yadav and Sanju Samson before the Super 8, but Ravindra Jadeja and Shivam Dube might not. It is likely that Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Sanju Samson will bat first. Hardik Pandya and Axar Patel will play all-round cricket, and Rishabh Pant will keep wickets. We expect Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Arshdeep Singh to bowl.
Who will play for Canada?
The starters for Canada are likely to be Aaron Johnson and Navneet Dhaliwal. The all-rounders will be Pargat Singh, Ravinderpal Singh, Nicholas Kirton, and Saad Bin Zafar. We expect Dillon Heyliger, Kaleem Sana, Jeremy Gordon, and Junaid Siddiqui to be the bowlers. Shreyas Movva is going to be the wicketkeeper.
Results Based on Statistics
After a slow start, India's star player, Virat Kohli, will be looking to get back on track. With 1146 runs in 28 games and an average of 67.4, he has a fantastic record in T20I cricket and the T20 World Cup. Bowler Jasprit Bumrah has taken 16 wickets in 13 T20 World Cup games. He is known for being excellent at what he does.
To keep an eye on
Even though Suryakumar Yadav had a disappointing IPL season, he is considered one of the best T20I hitters in the world. Because of the way he plays the move, Rishabh Pant can win any match.
Nicholas Kirton has been a key player in Canada's batting order. He has scored 365 runs in 17 games, with an average of 28. Nikhil Dutta, an off-spinner, has taken 25 wickets in 25 T20I races.
Location and Pitch
The Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill has hosted 16 T20Is, with 11 victories going to the team that batted first. When you bat first, you usually get 167 runs, and when you're chasing, you usually get 141 runs. Lauderhill's pitch is excellent for spin bowlers; slower bowlers have higher averages, hit rates, and economy rates than quick bowlers.
Predicting the match
With a strong group of batters and bowlers, India is clearly the favourite to win this game. Left-arm spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel are likely to get wickets, and Virat Kohli is likely to do well. Canada's best player is Aaron Johnson, and how he does on the power play will be very important. The skills and weaknesses of both teams show that India has an 85% chance of winning.
In the end,
The game between India and Canada in Lauderhill should be very interesting. After reaching the Super 8, India will try to improve their team and get their stars healthy. Canada, on the other hand, wants to win big and hopes that other things go their way. India is the clear favourite to win this match because they have a strong team and the circumstances are favorable for spin bowlers.
