A high-voltage semi-final 2 match is going to be played between India and England in the T20 World Cup 2024. In the last T20 World Cup also, India faced England in the semi-final match, where the English team defeated India by 10 wickets. Now Rohit and company will want to win at any cost and make it to the final and also want to take revenge for that 2-year-old defeat. But, there is a threat of rain on the India-England match, which can affect this match.
The semi-final match between India and England will be played on 27 June at the Providence Stadium in Guyana. But, the shadow of rain is looming over this match. Yes, the chances of rain in Guyana on Thursday are from 30% to 70%. Although this match will start at 8 pm in India, but according to the local timezone, this match will start at 10.30 am and heavy rain is expected in the morning. However, there is no doubt that the drainage system of Providence Stadium in Guyana is very good. In such a situation, the match can start shortly after the rain stops.
As seen in the weather update, there are very high chances of rain in Guyana on June 27. In such a situation, if rain becomes the villain in the semi-final match between India and England, then the match can also be cancelled. ICC has not kept a reserve day for the second semi-final i.e. the high-voltage match between India and England.
However, if the match is cancelled, then the Indian team will be the one to benefit from it. In fact, if the India vs England semi-final falls prey to rain, then India will reach the final, because it topped Group 1 in the Super-8 round and won all the three matches played. Not only this, ICC has also made it clear that a match of at least 10 overs is necessary in the semi-finals and finals.
