IND vs AUS, Women's World Cup 2025 Semifinal: The semi-final match of Women's ODI World Cup 2025 between India and Australia is to be played in Navi Mumbai, yes, there are unseasonal rainy conditions these days. In such a situation, there is continuous rain situation at this venue. The last group match played between India and Bangladesh in Navi Mumbai has been washed out due to rain. Now after that match, the second semi-final is also there. However, if it rains in the middle of the semi-final match, it will not be canceled because there is a reserve day for it.
But, the thing to think about is what will happen if the match goes to reserve day due to rain?First of all, let us know how much shadow of rain is there on the semi-finals in Navi Mumbai? The match is to start at 3 pm. According to Accuweather.com, if we look at the afternoon weather pattern in Navi Mumbai, there is a 30-35 percent chance of rain. Meaning, rain may be disrupted in the match. But, the chances of that rain moving the match to reserve day seem slim.
Meaning, at most the match may be delayed. Some of his overs may be cut.But, the weather can worsen at any time. What will happen to the India-Australia semi-final in that situation? Will the match start again on the reserve day? Or from the same place where he was stopped on the scheduled day? According to ICC rules, the match on the reserve day will start from the same place where it stopped on the schedule day.
This will happen in both cases. For example, if the match is of full 50-50 overs, then where it stopped on the schedule day, it will start again from the same place on the reserve day.
And, if the overs are cut due to rain on the match day. If it is of 46-46 overs, then on the reserve day also the match will remain of 46 overs and will start from the same place where it had stopped on the reserve day.
