Ah, the vibrant city of To Be Confirmed. The most magical place in all of Canada.

Screenshot of the ICC website commentary page for today's Scotland v Namibia ODI at Maple Leaf Cricket Club in King City, Ontario, Canada. The match has been delayed by rain.

The only commentary reads "Hello cricket aficionados, from the vibrant city of To Be Confirmed, we welcome you for an entertaining day of ICC CWC League 2, 2023-27 action. The historic To Be Confirmed plays host as Namibia squares off against Scotland in what promises to be a close affair."
