Central Broward Regional Park Stadium will host a 2024 T20 World Cup contest between India and Canada tonight (June 15). Both teams already know their fate. India have qualified for Super 8s while Canada have been eliminated. Hence, this match does not have much significance.
Still, this is a big opportunity for Canadian players to make their mark against a top-ranked team like India. Canada recorded a win against Ireland earlier in the tournament and they will try to perform well against India as well.
Before the first-ever T20I match between India and Canada starts, here's a look at the pitch history for the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium.
