Who Will Qualify for the Final if the India vs England 2024 T20 World Cup Semifinal is Washed Out?

Share

India is set to face England in the second semifinal of the 2024 T20 World Cup at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Thursday, June 27. The match is scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM IST and 10:30 AM local time, with the winner facing South Africa in the final on June 29.

India’s Impressive Run

The Men in Blue are unbeaten in the tournament so far. They won their first three matches in the group stage, while the fourth game was abandoned. In the Super 8 round, they topped Group 1, defeating Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Australia. England, on the other hand, finished second in their group and in the Super 8 stage as well, registering convincing wins over West Indies and the USA to secure their spot in the semifinals.

Weather Concerns

There is plenty of excitement over the India vs England 2024 T20 World Cup semifinal clash in Guyana. However, weather could play spoilsport as there are chances of rain during the knockout match. If there is no result in the game, India will qualify for the final since they topped their group in the Super 8 round, while England finished second in their group.

Playing Conditions for Rain Delay

An additional 250 minutes have been allotted for the match in case of a delay. Since there is no reserve day for the second semifinal, the entire duration of 250 minutes will have to be utilized on the same day.

The ICC decided against keeping a reserve day for the second semifinal due to the tight schedule, with only a day’s gap between this knockout match and the final in Barbados.

Minimum Overs Requirement

A minimum of 10 overs per side need to be bowled for a result in the India vs England second semifinal. According to ESPNcricinfo, 1:44 AM IST is the cut-off time for a 10-over game. This differs from the group games and the Super 8 stage, where a minimum of five overs per side was required for a match to be considered complete.

Super Over in Case of a Tie

If the semifinal ends in a tie, a Super Over will be played to determine the winner. However, if weather conditions prevent the Super Over from being completed, India will progress to the final based on having finished higher in the Super 8 stage.

As fans eagerly await the outcome, the looming threat of rain adds an extra layer of tension to an already high-stakes match. Will India continue their unbeaten streak, or will England spoil the party? Only time, and perhaps the weather, will tell.
