Scotland's one-day international (ODI) against Canada was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to unsafe pitch conditions in King City, Ontario. The match, part of the ICC World Cup League 2, was called off after six separate pitch inspections revealed a damp patch that posed a risk to players.
