Heavy rain is predicted during the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024 between India and England which is to be played at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on June 27.
India, England, South Africa and Afghanistan are the four semi-finalists of the T20 World Cup. Rashid Khan’s side made it to their first-ever semi-final of an ICC event by beating Bangladesh in their last Super 8 match earlier today.
All eyes will be on India vs England as it will be the rematch of the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final where Jos Buttler’s side humiliated the Blues by handing them a 10-wicket loss as they chased down the 169-run target in just 16 overs.
Rohit Sharma will be eyeing revenge but rain may play spoilsport as there is heavy rain predicted on June 27 in Guyana.
The match will begin at 10:30AM local time and the official match time is till 1:40PM. There is no reserve day for the match but an additional 250 minutes have been added in case rain interrupts the match, which would increase the match timing till 5:50PM.
