Rain threat looms large in Florida

Team India look to finish group stage with a bang

- MEENAKSHI RAO

Hold on to your cricket caps because with a 77 percent chance of rain on match-day, 9 am to 1 pm, followed by thunder, lightning and storm deep into the evening, India will meet Canada in their last Group stage match which might just turn into a synchronized swimming event!

The torrential rain has come down at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium in such an unrelenting cascade for the past week that instead of blistering cover drives by a raring to go Kohli and toe-crushing yorkers by Bumrah, we might see the teams building arks and rowing across the pitch.

Though the rain has held so on match eve, the ground at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium is wetter than a fish's handshake, and the outfield as risky as trying to catch a greased pig, for now.
