What was feared finally happened in Florida's Lauderhill Stadium. The match between India and Canada also fell prey to rain. The India-Canada match was cancelled in Lauderhill and the main reason for this was the ground being wet. There was heavy rain in Florida late at night before the match and due to this the ground remained wet. A lot of effort was made to dry the ground but the ground staff failed. Along with the cancellation of the match between India and Canada, an unwanted hat-trick was also made in the Lauderhill ground.

Hat-trick of match cancellations

Not only the match between India and Canada was cancelled in Lauderhill. Before this, two more matches were cancelled here. On June 11, the match between Sri Lanka and Nepal had to be cancelled without a toss. Something similar was seen in the match between America and Ireland on June 14. With the cancellation of this match, Pakistan was out of the T20 World Cup. If this match had taken place and Ireland had won the match, then Pakistan had hopes of reaching the Super 8 but the rain spoiled it. In this way, three consecutive matches have been cancelled in Lauderhill. Now Pakistan and Ireland have to play on the same ground on June 16 and looking at the kind of weather it seems that this match will also be cancelled.

There is a problem in the ground

It rained heavily in Florida but it is also true that the drainage facility in the Lauderhill stadium is very poor. Not only this, there are no covers to cover the entire ground. ICC wants to popularize cricket in America but if the condition of American grounds remains like this, it does not seem that cricket will be promoted here.
