India vs Canada Live Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Rohit Sharma-led India take on Canada in their last Group A game before playing in the Super Eight. The Indian team is undefeated in the tournament by winning all the three matches played so far.
Pakistan cricketers face the risk of having their central contracts reviewed and their salaries potentially reduced by the PCB following their early exit from the T20 World Cup. Defeats to minnows USA and arch-rivals India cost Pakistan dearly as they were knocked out of the tournament on Friday, failing to even reach the Super Eight stage. A reliable source in the board said that some officials and former players had advised PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi to reassess the central contracts given to the players during his predecessor Zaka Ashraf's tenure.
Pakistan's shock early exit from the T20 World Cup is being blamed on "groupings" within the team and non-performance of senior players during critical moments and it could lead to "major changes" not just in the team but also in the PCB. According to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) sources, the biggest challenge before Babar Azam on his comeback as captain was to unite the team but he could not do so because of the groupings. Shaheen Afridi upset at losing the captaincy and Babar not supporting him when required while Mohammad Rizwan was unhappy at not being considered for the captaincy.
With their Super Eight berth confirmed in the T20 World Cup, USA vice-captain Aaron Jones has expressed confidence in his team's ability to trump any full member side given they play 'proper cricket' and up to their potential. The tournament co-hosts USA's dream run at the T20 World Cup continued on Friday when their Super Eight qualification was confirmed after their Group A game against Ireland was washed out, with the two sides sharing a point each. USA defeated neighbours Canada by seven wickets before edging out former champions Pakistan in a thrilling Super Over finish to make their debut appearance in the tournament a memorable one.

Pakistan's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign came to a heartbreaking end on Friday after USA qualified into the Super 8s stage in their maiden appearance. Babar Azam and co, who have got two points from three matches, were hoping for Ireland's victory over USA in their previous Group A match. However, the fate had other plans in store as the match between USA and Ireland got washed out due to heavy rain in Florida, resulting in co-hosts getting qualified for the Super 8s with five points. As Pakistan have only one game left in the Group stage, so the maximum they can get is a total of four points.
India all-rounder Ajay Jadeja, who served as Afghanistan mentor during ODI World Cup 2023, revealed that the intesity among players is 10 times higher during Afghanistan-Pakistan matches when compared to that of India-Pakistan. Recalling Afghanistan's eight-wicket win over Pakistan in Cricket World Cup 2023, the former India player said that the winning team players were behaving like "bin piye sharaabi". Chasing a target of 283 runs in the game, Afghanistan reached home in 49 overs to register their first-ever ODI win over Pakistan.
