Is. Not only this, what will happen if the match cannot be held due to rain. If you are also thinking the same then let us give you the answers.
India vs England second semi-final match will be played in Guyana
There is a threat of rain on the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup to be held between India and England in Guyana. If there was a league match, it would have worked, but this is a semi-final, so ICC also does not want to take any risk. Therefore, some special rules have been made separately for the match. Which should be considered. Reserve day has not been kept for the India vs England match, the reason behind this is the timing of both the matches. While the South Africa vs Afghanistan match in Trinidad is a day-night game, it will start at 8:30 PM local time on June 26. Whereas the India vs England semi-final in Guyana is a one-day match, which will start on June 27 at 10:30 am local time. Keep in mind here that the time of the match that we are telling here is not that of India, hence the local time i.e. West Indies time has been given.
According to West Indies, the semi-finals will be played on June 26 and 27.
According to West Indies, the matches are on 26th and 27th, but in India both the matches will end on the same day i.e. on 27th June. After this, ICC has fixed 28th as the day for travelling. Both the teams reaching the final on June 28 will leave for another stadium for the final. Which will be played in Kingston Barbados on 29th June. If the day-night match between South Africa and Afghanistan is not completed due to rain, it will be moved to the reserve day on June 27. But since June 28 is a travel day, the India vs England day match on June 27 will have to be completed on the same day. Due to lack of reserve day, ICC has made arrangements that about four additional hours have been kept for the second semi-final.
