What happens if rain washes out India vs England T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final?
The International Cricket Council (ICC) hasn’t kept a single Reserve Day in place for any of the two semi-finals. But the India vs England match will get approximately 4 hours extra to complete the match. A 10-over-per-side contest is a must if a result is to be obtained from the match.
In a case where either of the two sides fails to bat for 10 overs, the match will be considered abandoned. A washout would lead to Team India’s progression into the final while England will be knocked out, as a result of the results the two sides obtained during the group stage of the campaign.
