The much-anticipated India vs England T20 World Cup 2024 semifinal match in Guyana is facing a significant threat from rain. According to weather forecasts, there is a high probability of rain throughout the first half of the day in Georgetown, Guyana, starting from 6:00 AM local time. The match is scheduled to begin at 10:30 AM local time (8:00 PM IST).
Weather Underground predicts a 90% chance of rain in the afternoon, with scattered thunderstorms likely. The rains are expected to continue throughout the afternoon in Guyana. This poses a serious challenge to the smooth completion of the match.
To mitigate the impact of potential rain interruptions, an extra 250 minutes of reserve time has been allocated. However, if the match cannot be completed even after the extra time, India will automatically advance to the final. This is due to their higher finishing position in the Super Eight stage.
Cricket fans are anxiously hoping for clear skies and a thrilling contest between the two cricketing giants. The weather, however, remains a major factor in the outcome of this crucial semifinal clash.
