Heavy rain was expected to cast a shadow of uncertainty over the T20 World Cup 2024 second semi-final between India and England on June 27 at Providence Stadium in Guyana. The potential impact of this weather condition on the match was a matter of concern for all cricket enthusiasts.
India, England, South Africa, and Afghanistan were the four semi-finalists. Rashid Khan’s team reached their first-ever ICC event semi-final by defeating Bangladesh in their last Super 8 match that day.
All eyes were on the highly anticipated rematch between India and England, a significant event in the T20 World Cup 2024. This was a chance for India to avenge their 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final loss, where Jos Buttler’s team handed them a 10-wicket defeat, chasing down 169 runs in just 16 overs. However, the excitement was dampened by the heavy rain predicted on June 27 in Guyana.
The match started at 10:30 AM local time and was scheduled until 1:40 PM. There was no reserve day, but an additional 250 minutes had been allocated in case of rain delays, extending play until 5:50 PM.
The weather forecast for June 27 in Guyana was:
10 AM: 60% chance of rain
11 AM: 68% chance of rain
12 PM: 49% chance of rain
1 PM: 35% chance of rain
2 PM: 38% chance of rain
3 PM: 42% chance of rain
4 PM: 51% chance of rain
5 PM: 47% chance of rain
6 PM: 36% chance of rain
Both teams needed to complete at least ten overs for a result. India would advance to the final if the match were washed out due to their unbeaten group-stage record.
Note: The early start time of the match was a unique opportunity for Indian fans. If any team other than India had topped Group 1 of Super 8, their semi-final would have been played in Trinidad. However, the match’s early start time allowed Indian fans to watch it at convenient hours, adding to their excitement and anticipation.
