A tame end to this fixture. We have got another game tomorrow between Pakistan and Ireland at the same venue. Let's hope the rain stays away and we get a full game. For now, it's time for us to take your leave. This is Akshay Bhide, signing off, on behalf of my co-commentator AkshayaKrishna Polya and scorer Raju Khariya. Until next time, cheers and good bye.
9:02 PM IST, 11:32 AM Local Time: Out walk the umpires for another inspection. They don't look much pleased with the outfield which looks damp right now. They have a chat with the match referee Andy Pycroft. The match has been abandoned.
The players from both sides shake hands. The match officials think that the conditions won't improve and with the overcast conditions, it very unlikely that the game will begin. So, they have decided to call off the match. Both sides share a point each and India enter the Super 8 stage unbeaten. It's the end of the road for Canada.

Ground report (Mike Haysman): "I'm standing here and there is no standing water at this stage. It is an improvement from yesterday. The problem here is that the outfield is sand-based. There was plenty of rain in the last few days. But the groundsmen have been working hard to get the field ready for play. As I stand here, it's not firm. There are four massive hair dryers around the concerned area, drying the outfield. Since these hair dryers are out here, it looks good. Still, a lot of works need to be done for today's game to begin. There is also a little bit of breeze flowing across the ground."
7:30 PM IST, 10 AM Local Time: The mizzle has stopped but the square remains under covers as the sky is gloomy. Let's hope there isn't any rain and we get a positive news from the inspection that is scheduled to take place at 8 PM IST (10:30 AM Local Time).
