At the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup, the Rohit Sharma-led side has competed in all of their matches at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The Men in Blue have one match left in the group stage, which will take place at the Lauderhill region in Miami, Florida. However, an unforeseen circumstance has engulfed the region and it looks like the IND vs CAN match-up could be in danger as the match could be either relocated or could even face a cancellation.
