New Delhi: Due to persistent rain, the ongoing second semi-final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 between India and defending champions England at the Providence Stadium in Guyana has been significantly disrupted. The match has experienced delays and interruptions as rain intermittently affects play. Here’s what will happen if the match between India and England is washed out.
Washout Scenario
Weather could play a crucial role in the second semi-final. The semi-final between India and England, does not have a reserve day due to the tight scheduling. Instead, 250 minutes of extra time have been allocated on the match day itself to ensure a result.
If the match is washed out and a Super Over isn’t possible, the team that finished top of their Super 8 group will advance to face South Africa in the final.
India will advance to the final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 if their semi-final match against England is washed out or abandoned without a result. This outcome is due to India finishing higher in the Super 8 points table, maintaining an unbeaten record, while England suffered a defeat to South Africa during the Super 8 stage.
The T20 World Cup 2024 final is slated to be held in Barbados, but there are concerns about rain disrupting the match on Saturday. A reserve day has been planned for Sunday to ensure the final can take place. However, if inclement weather prevents play on both days, the trophy will be shared between South Africa and the winner of the second semi-final.
