After defeating Australia in their most recent Super Eight match on Monday, the Rohit Sharma-led team is aiming for their first T20 World Cup final since 2014.
India lost badly to eventual winners England in Adelaide by 10 wickets in the previous edition’s semi-final.In the meantime, Guyana’s weather is probably going to ruin the important game. With a 60% probability of rain, Guyana’s weather forecast for Thursday states that “thunder showers changing to heavy showers by late morning” are anticipated.
What would happen if England and India were eliminated in the semifinals?
There is no reserve day for the semi-final match between India and England, but there is an extra 250 minutes to finish the match beyond the customary cut-off time.
A minimum of 10 overs must be bowled in each innings to qualify a team for the semi-finals and final. The team that tops their Super Eight group progresses to the final, meaning India will play in the finals despite not being able to play 10 overs per.
The team that placed first in their Second Round Group (Super 8) will advance to the Final in the case of a tie if inclement weather prevents the Super Over from being completed or if the match is called off due to weather-related issues or other reasons.
The most recent weather report indicates that it will continue to be cloudy with a growing chance of rain.
