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.
Trent Boult described New Zealand's elimination from the Super Eight stage of the ongoing T20 World Cup as “not the start we wanted” after the Kiwis wrapped up their penultimate match of the tournament with a resounding nine-wicket victory over Uganda. Boult led the charge with the ball, delivering a masterclass in fast bowling. His figures of 2-7 were instrumental in dismantling Uganda's batting lineup, as he claimed the crucial wickets of Simon Ssesazi and Robinson Obuya. Uganda were bundled out for a mere 40 runs in 18.4 overs.
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.
Veteran pacer Trent Boult has confirmed the ongoing T20 World Cup will be his final appearance for New Zealand in the marquee-tournament. Since his debut in 2011, Boult has been a key member of the BlackCaps' golden generation, participating in multiple finals across all three formats for New Zealand. Additionally, the left-arm pacer has featured in four editions of the T20 World Cup since 2014. "Speaking on behalf of myself, this will be my last T20 World Cup. That's all I have to say," Boult said at the press conference after New Zealand's nine-wicket win over Uganda.
Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra feels that he has not achieved his best result in the javelin throw despite winning multiple medals in the sport. Indian star athlete exhibited the basics of throwing a javelin to Dinesh Karthik on JioCinema's ‘Get Set Gold,' where he also showed his personable side by discussing some of his off-court interests such as his hobbies, favourite movies, and the kind of music he listens to before competing. Neeraj shared how his throw in the World Under-20 Championships 2016, is the only throw he has been satisfied with. To date, I am only satisfied with one throw of mine, which was 86.48 m in the World Under-20 Championships 2016. That was one throw where I felt it was a special, unique one, but I have not been satisfied with any throw since.
Afghanistan star spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman has been ruled out of the remainder of the T20 World Cup due to a recurrence of the finger injury that sidelined him from IPL 2024. The injury has prompted Afghanistan to call up Hazratullah Zazai, an explosive opening batter, as Mujeeb's replacement. The International Cricket Council (ICC) confirmed the change on Friday afternoon, just hours after Afghanistan's convincing victory over Papua New Guinea. The ICC's event technical committee approved Zazai's inclusion in the squad, marking a strategic shift in the team's composition.

Australia vice-captain Matthew Wade believes the side will encounter “a lot of spin challenge” in the Super Eight stage of the ongoing T20 World Cup. Led by Mitchell Marsh, the Australian team has already secured its place in the Super Eight stage, having triumphed in its first three matches. However, a spin-laden trial awaits them, as they brace for encounters against cricketing giants India, Afghanistan, and likely Bangladesh in Asian-dominated Group 1. Australia's path to potentially clinching a second T20 World Cup and completing the set of all three major men's ICC global titles on a trot is clear but fraught with obstacles.
