FLORIDA: Rain once again played spoilsport in the Florida leg of the ongoing T20 World Cup as the match between India and Canada at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground was abandoned due to rain on Saturday.

Both India and Canada will share a point each after rain did not allow the toss in Florida. With this, India entered the Super 8 stage of the World Cup as group champions. The last three matches held in Florida -- Sri Lanka-Nepal and United States-Ireland -- were also washed out due to rain.

India has already qualified for the Super 8 after clinching three consecutive wins in Group A. They kicked off their campaign by defeating Ireland. The Rohit Sharma-led side defeated their arch-rival Pakistan in the second clash and earned a hard-fought win over the co-hosts, the USA.

The USA became the second team to qualify for the Super 8 after their game against Ireland got washed out. Both teams got a point each, which sealed their qualification for the next round. As a result, Pakistan, Ireland and Canada got knocked out of the race.

Pakistan will conclude their campaign on Sunday against Ireland in Florida.
