India and England, the defending champions, are all set to face each other in the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final on Thursday night.

Contrary to the first semi-final between South Africa and Afghanistan, which saw no interruption by rain, the second match in Guyana is expected to witness plenty of showers, especially after the scheduled start of the game, at 10:30 AM (local time).

Showers a day before were also witnessed in Guyana and the same is expected during the second semi-final too.

According to Accuweather, rain is expected at the venue all day, even early morning but the showers are likely to intensify after 9:00 AM local time (6:30 PM IST). The likelihood of rainfall will peak at 11:00 AM local time (8:30 PM IST) and is expected fall from 12 noon onwards.

What will happen if rain washes out India vs England 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.
