T20 World Cup: What Will Happen If India v England Semifinal Gets Washed Out In Rain?

Following South Africa’s dominant nine-wicket victory over Afghanistan in the first semi-final, now turns attention to the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup between India and England at Providence Stadium in Guyana today.

Rohit Sharma’s team make target for their first T20 World Cup final since 2014 after defeating Australia in their last Super Eight match on Monday. In the previous edition of semi-final, India suffered a heavy 10-wicket defeat to eventual champions England in Adelaide.

However, weather in Guyana may effect the critical match. Thursday’s forecast predicts “thunder showers changing to heavy showers by late morning,” predicting 60 percent chance of rain.

What will happen if the India vs. England semi-final is washed out?

The semi-final does not have a reserve day but allows an additional 250 minutes to complete the match beyond the usual cut-off period.

For the semi-finals and final, there still must be at least 10 overs bowled in each innings to constitute a match. If this is not possible, the team that topped their Super Eight group will advance to the final, meaning India would move forward to the finals.

If there is a tie, and weather conditions still favor the Super Over, or if the match is still abandoned due to weather, the team that finished first in its Super Eight group will progress to the finals.

According to the latest weather update, conditions remain overcast with increasing rain probability at the time of the toss.

The match will start at 8 pm IST, provided there are no rain interruptions.
