T20 World Cup Second Semi-Final Showdown between India and England at Risk of Weather Washout in Guyana

The eagerly anticipated second semi-final of the T20 World Cup between India and England will take place at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Thursday. Rohit Sharma-led India are determined to reach their first T20 World Cup final since 2014 after a commanding victory over Australia in the last Super Eight match. However, they are still haunted by memories of losing to England in the semi-finals of the previous tournament.

Unfortunately, the weather forecast for Guyana on Thursday does not look promising, with thunderstorms expected to turn into heavy showers by late morning. A 60 percent chance of rain is forecast, raising concerns about the possibility of a washout in the critical game. If this were to happen, there would be no spare day scheduled, but an extra 250 minutes were allocated to finish the match after normal stoppage time. A minimum of 10 overs is required in each innings to constitute a match for the semi-finals and final.

In case the match cannot be completed due to weather conditions or other reasons, and a Super Over is not possible, the team that finished atop their Super Eight group advances to the finals. This means that under such circumstances, India would progress to the finals. Fans and players alike will keep a close eye on Guyana’s skies on match day, hoping that rain holds off and allows for an exhilarating contest between these two cricket giants.
