The match between India and Canada in Lauderhill, Florida, was called off due to a wet outfield.
As a result, India will now head to Barbados to face Afghanistan in the Super 8 fixture, while Canada exits the tournament with a solitary victory, albeit against Ireland.
The weather forecast had been a concern for this match, but it was the sandy outfield, damaged by overnight rains, that proved to be the main issue.
Grounds men resorted to using large hair dryers to dry the damp patches, but with overcast conditions persisting, the umpires deemed the ground unfit for play after several inspections.
The match was officially abandoned well before the scheduled cut-off time for a five-over game.
In Group A, USA and India secured spots in the Super 8, while Pakistan, Ireland, and Canada missed out.
Another match is yet to be played at this venue, featuring Pakistan against Ireland.
