beating Ireland, and the USA’s triumph over Pakistan is one of the greatest upset in cricket’s history. But an Indian defeat here today would shift the game off its axis.

I’m not saying it’s going to happen. India have been faultless so far and it’s almost impossible to imagine how their galaxy of stars could muck this up.

But it’s been a strange World Cup. And even though we’ll likely get our predicted winner, the Canucks will be eager to prove they belong at this top table by signing off with a scrap.

My name’s Dan. Ping me a mail if you fancy. I’m looking forward to this. Should be a goodun.

Toss and teams to follow. First ball at 3:30 BST from Central Broward Regional Park in Florida.
