India's final Group A match against Canada in Florida was unfortunately called off due to a wet outfield, resulting in no play being possible. Heavy rain prior to the scheduled toss time caused a delay in the start of the match. Despite multiple inspections and a one-hour delay, the umpires made the difficult decision to abandon the game.
India, having already secured a spot in the Super Eight, remains undefeated as they move on to the next round. Joining them from Group A is the United States. Unfortunately, Pakistan, Canada, and Ireland have been eliminated from the group stage.
