Ground Staff In Action due to rain | Source: X.com
Team India’s dream and unbeaten run in the T20 World Cup 2024 faces a huge challenge as they take on arch-rivals England in a rain-threatened second semi-final on Thursday, June 27th at Providence Stadium, Guyana.
The much-anticipated clash between two white-ball powerhouses is under a dark cloud, with weather forecasts predicting heavy rain. Weather reports suggest a 60% chance of rain throughout the match day.
ICC’s Plan for a Washout Scenario
The ICC has allocated an additional 250 minutes for both semi-finals, giving ground staff more time to prepare the pitch if weather permits. This extended window allows for a possible resumption of play after a rain interruption.
Who Will Qualify if IND vs ENG Gets Washed Out?
However, if a full match proves impossible, the team that finished higher in their Super 8 group advances to the final according to the ICC’s playing conditions.
This scenario favours India, who finished at the top of their group with an unbeaten record. England, on the other hand, finished second in their group with two wins.
