In case the match is washed out, it will not have an effect on position of either teams as India have already qualified for the Super 8 positions and Canada do not have a chance to qualify for the next stage.

International Cricket Council have been criticised by the fans for the scheduling as Florida is currently going through cyclone weather. Right before the start of the T20 World Cup 2024, Florida had faced massive storms.

Fans had demanded the ICC to shift the T20 World Cup 2024 matches out of Florida after flash floods warning in the city. Notably, heavy rainfall in South Florida on Wednesday, June 12 left several streets flooded disrupting the life of the citizens.

Several Images and videos of water logging in the city surfaced on social media showing roads filled with water. With heavy rain and flood warnings issued, fans demanded the ICC to shift the remaining games scheduled in Florida to New York or Dallas.
