What will happen if IND vs ENG semi-final 2 gets washed out? Explained: icccricketschedule.com

The Indian Cricket Team on Monday, 24th June successfully qualified for the semifinal of ICC’s Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 after defeating Australia in their final Super Eight fixture at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in St Lucia.

It was yet another phenomenal display from Rohit Sharma and his boys, who secured a hard fought victory over the mighty Aussies by a margin of 24 runs and guaranteed their place in the semi-finals of the tournament.

Now that the semi finalists have been confirmed, the fixtures have been confirmed as well and the Rohit Sharma-led team will be locking horns against reigning champions England in the second semifinal of the 2024 T20 World Cup on 27th of June, 8:30 PM IST at Guyana’s Providence Stadium.

It’s going to be a repeat of the 2022 T20 World Cup’s semi final where England and India faced each other and the former ended up getting the better of the latter on that occasion. The upcoming clash between the two rivals promises to be a really exciting and intense contest and the Men in Blue would be looking to avenge their humiliating T20 World Cup 2022 defeat against the Jos Buttler-led team.

However, the upcoming intense semi final encounter between the two rivals is facing the threat of getting interrupted by constant rainfall predicted on the day of the match.

If the second semi final between England and India ends up getting abandoned due to rain, then the regulations set by the International Cricket Council (ICC) will decide the outcome of the match.

What will happen if India vs England gets washed out due to rain?

According to the weather reports of AccuWeather, the city of Georgetown, Guyana is facing an 88% percent chance of rainfall along with 18% thunderstorm chances throughout the day.

The match is scheduled to start at 10:30am local-time (8:00 PM IST) and if the rain continues to last throughout the day, then the tournament organisers have been given the permission to wait till the evening period to see if the match can take place and a result can be guaranteed. Due to Broadcasting and logistics reasons, the second semi final between India and England has not been allotted any reserve day by the ICC.

If the contest gets washed out without a single delivery being bowled, then 2007 winners India will be declared as the winners and will automatically qualify for the final of ICC’s Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. This result will be determined on the basis of the Men in Blue’s better Super eight performance as they finished at the top of Group number one while Jos Buttler and his men finished at the second position of Group number two.

“Arshdeep ke ball reverse ho raha hai…”- Inzamam-ul-Haq accuses India of ball tampering in T20 World Cup 2024 

Former Pakistan cricketer Inzamam-ul-Haq has accused the India team of the ball tampering in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. He pointed out Arshdeep Singh reversing the ball in the second spell against Australia and claimed that they had done serious work on the ball. 

India’s team has been sensational in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. They won all their games heading into the semi-final and are looking favourites to win the tournament. They will be facing England in the semi-final and would be keen to win the game and go forward. 

India booked their semi-final spot after a win over Australia in the Super 8 start. The Rohit Sharma-led side displayed magnificent performances with the bat and ball and made sure that they not only qualified but also put the opposition in a spot of bother in the tournament.

Arshdeep Singh was the key performer for India in the game against Australia. He went for some runs in his first spell. But in his second spell, he came up with a brilliant performance and picked wickets to help his team win the game. 

Arshdeep Singh also reversed the swing the ball, which made life tough for batters. The pacer returned with the figures of 3/37 and helped India win the game by the margin of 20 runs and move into the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024.

Arshdeep singh reverse swinging the ball didn’t go well with former Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq. He pointed out the pacer was moving the ball in the 15th over which is not possible and hence umpires should keep their eyes open. 

He stated that If it was Pakistani bowlers who did the same the world would’ve been against them. While speaking to a media channel, he explained: 

Arshdeep Singh, when he was bowling the 15th over, the ball was reversing. is it too early (for reverse swing) with the new ball? This means the ball was ready for reverse swing by the 12th or the 13th over. Umpires should keep their eyes open (to spot) these things…

“If it was Pakistani bowlers (reverse swinging the ball) this would have been a big issue. We know reverse swing very well and if Arshdeep can come in the 15th over and start reversing the ball, it means some serious work had been done before,” he concluded.

“All set for Team India, led by Rohit ‘The Hit Man’ Sharma, for the T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final and (hopefully) the final. After a solid knock in the big match against Australia, Rohit Sharma looks more calm and confident. Virender Sehwag said, ‘The biggest entertainment in cricket currently is watching Rohit Sharma bat’ [Cricbuzz].”

3 Key Player battles to watch out for in IND vs ENG Semi-Final 2 Clash

IND vs ENG: It is time for the start of the knockout stage of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The first semifinal will be played between South Africa and Afghanistan on June 26, while the second semifinal will take place between India and England. This match will take place at Providence Stadium, Guyana. This will be the rematch of the 2022 T20 World Cup semifinal at Adelaide.

England thrashed India by ten wickets and went on to win the tournament. So will England repeat it here, or will India take revenge and beat the defending champions? Well, only time will tell, but one thing is sure: it will be a great battle between two powerhouses. Both teams have a number of stars, and there will be some key player battles in this IND vs ENG semi-final.

3 Key Battles to Watch Out for in IND vs ENG Semi-Final 2 Clash

1. Rohit Sharma vs Reece Topley

The Indian captain, Rohit Sharma, turned his beast mode on in the game against Australia and smashed a 19-ball fifty. He took every Australian bowler apart and was unstoppable. He was the difference between the two teams in the last game. Now, he will be looking to do something similar in the IND vs ENG semifinal. Rohit will have in mind how England beat India last time by ten wickets, so he will be looking to take them on. However, Reece Topley can be challenging for him. Rohit has a slight weakness against left-arm bowlers, and in this tournament, he has gotten out four times to left-armers. Topley has also dismissed Rohit two times in international cricket.

2. Jos Buttler vs Jasprit Bumrah

IND vs ENG: Jasprit Bumrah vs Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler will look to lead England to the final, and for that, they have to win against India. So the English captain will hold a key in the batting order. He has played against Indian bowlers a lot and knows what they can plan. Meanwhile, Buttler’s wicket can put a psychological pressure on England. That’s where Jasprit Bumrah will be important in the IND vs ENG clash. The ace pacer is in the best of form and is picking up crucial wickets. He is the one who dismissed Travis Head in the last game. Bumrah has dismissed Buttler four times in T20s and three times in Tests.

3. Suryakumar Yadav vs Chris Jordan

With Virat Kohli not performing as expected, the role of Suryakumar Yadav becomes crucial in the IND vs ENG clash. He has done a pretty decent job for India in this tournament and has two half-centuries to his name. SKY is one of those batters who will hit boundaries regularly, and that can put England under a lot of pressure. That’s where England might bring in their T20I specialist against him. Chris Jordan took a hat-trick in the last game and has been a consistent performer for England in this format. He has also dismissed SKY twice in T20Is, but Surykumar Yadav has scored 61 runs off 33 balls against him.

SA vs AFG Semifinal-1: So here we are in the first semifinal of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. It is South Africa vs Afghanistan at the iconic Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad starting at 8:30 PM Local (06:00 AM IST). This post will lead you to the SA vs AFG Semifinal-1 Dream11 Prediction, Grand League, Small League Teams, Head-to-Head Stats, and More.

None of the two teams in the Semifinal 1 have ever played a T20 World Cup Final and this time, it will be a huge moment for them as any one of these two will proceed to the Finals of the ICC T20 event.

Talking about South Africa first, they have been undefeated in this season. They have won every single game they have played till now and have overcome multiple collapses. They now have a promising and trusted lineup that can lead the team out of any sink.

They have looked more batting-heavy side but that doesn’t mean they lack in bowling strength. From Anrich Nortje’s sensational pace to Tabrej Shamshi’s spin, they do have all-round bowling options.

The key difference between this South African squad and their predecessors who have previously reached the semifinals is their readiness to acknowledge Afghanistan’s advantage going into the match. Aiden Markram’s men, however, are also on a hot streak, riding their own wave of momentum.

Afghanistan experienced a rollercoaster ride in a few matches, but they have consistently displayed top form and confidence. Despite heavy defeats by the West Indies and India, Afghanistan have made it to the semifinals. South Africa, on the other hand, have maintained an unbeaten streak, winning all seven of their matches.

However, Afghanistan’s impressive performance in the World Cup, and South Africa’s poor track record in knockout games – with only one win out of nine – make it reasonable to consider Rashid Khan’s team as favorites.

Notably, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran are among the tournament’s top five run-scorers, while Fazalhaq Farooqi, Rashid Khan, and Naveen-ul-Haq are among the top five wicket-takers. In comparison, South Africa’s leading batter, Quinton de Kock, ranks sixth, and their top bowler, Anrich Nortje, is joint eighth.

Considering all the performances and tracking the strengths and weaknesses of both teams, we are here with the two best fantasy teams of the Grand League and Small League. Let’s take a look at SA vs AFG Semifinal-1 Dream11 Prediction, Grand League, Small League Teams, Head-to-Head Stats, and More:

India vs Pakistan on July 19, Women’s Asia Cup 2024 Schedule announced by ACC

Women’s Asia Cup 2024 Schedule: The Asian Cricket Council (ACC)-led by Jay Shah has announced the schedules for the Women’s Asia Cup 2024, which is slated to be held between July 19 and 28 in Sri Lanka’s Dambulla.

Team India is set to play Pakistan on the opening day of the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 in Dambulla, though, it will be an evening fixture. The same afternoon on July 19 in Dambulla will see an opening clash between UAE and Nepal.

All the teams will play three games in the group stage and the top two teams of each group will proceed to the semi-finals. Unlike the last edition where teams played each other once, with no groups, this time around, the ACC has formed two groups of four teams each.

Group A features India, Pakistan, UAE and Nepal, while the other group has Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Thailand.

Notably, the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 becomes crucial and key to the preparation of Asian teams as the tournament is immediately followed by the Women’s T20 World Cup 2024 in Bangladesh. The World Cup will be held between October 3 and 20.

Team India remains the most successful side in the Women’s Asia Cup with as many as seven titles to their name. India is also the defending champion of the tournament, having defeated Sri Lanka in the 2022 final, and will begin their title defence on July 19.

It’s noteworthy that the fresh Women’s Asia Cup 2024 schedule has come after a bit of tweaks to the original schedule. The original schedule had Nepal vs Pakistan as the opening game of the tournament with India taking on UAE on the same day.

The fixtures – India vs Pakistan and Nepal vs UAE – were originally scheduled to be held on July 21, however, as per the latest schedule, the aforementioned fixtures will mark the beginning of the Women’s Asia Cup 2024.

All the fixtures will be held in Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla, Sri Lanka. The afternoon matches will begin at 2 PM IST and the evening matches will begin at the usual 7 PM.

T20 World Cup 2024: The Super Eight phase of the ICC’s T20 World Cup 2024 came to a really exciting and nail biting end following Afghanistan’s dramatic win by eight runs (DLS-method) over Bangladesh in a rain-affected encounter at St. Vincent’s Arnos Vale Stadium. This win over the Najmul Hossain Shanto-led team meant that Australia got eliminated from the tournament and the Afghans became the fourth team after England, India and South Africa to successfully qualify for the semi-finals of ICC’S T20 World Cup 2024.

After losing against the Indians in their opening Super eight fixture, the Afghans needed to win the match against Australia and they did exactly that as they recorded their first win over the Kangaroos in International Cricket and scripted one of the biggest upsets in World Cricket as Rashid Khan and his men stunned the Kangaroos by 21 runs.

With the Mitchell Marsh-led team losing against the Indian Cricket Team in yesterday’s high intensity encounter, Rashid Khan and his men just needed to secure a win over Bangladesh and they proved their doubters wrong as they successfully qualified for the semis with a nail-biting win against the Tigers where rain played a huge role.

Talking about the semi finalists, from group number one of the Super Eight, alongside Afghanistan, India cruised into the semis as they secured their third Super 8 win by hammering the mighty Aussies by 24 runs to confirm their top of the table group one finish and confirmed their semi-final encounter with reigning champions England. Both of these teams had met each other in the semi finals of the 2022 T20 World Cup, where the Jos Buttler-led team humiliated the Men in Blue with a 10 wicket victory.

England were on the verge of getting knocked out of the 2024 T20 World Cup twice but they managed to secure dominating victories overs Namibia and Oman in the group-stage and then defeated both the co-hosts Windies and the United States in the Super eight, which meant that the Three Lions confirmed their semi final spot.

South Africa on the other hand, finished at the top of Group two as they won all three of their Super Eight matches and went unbeaten in the group stage phase as well. Although the Proteas have managed to win in all of their fixtures so far, six of those victories have come in nail-biting matches, which could have ended in a different result as well. They will face the highly-confident Afghanistan in the first semi final.

Explained: What will happen if SA vs AFG semi-final 1 gets washed out? What’s the rule for rain in a semi-final

SA vs AFG: The last three games are remaining in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The first semi-final will see a clash between South Africa and Afghanistan on Wednesday at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad. It will be followed by the India vs England semi-final on Thursday. Everything is settled, but a big concern ahead of the SA vs AFG game is the rain. The forecast suggests possible rain at the scheduled time.

It means we might see some rain breaks during the game, but everyone will hope for a complete match. As seen in the tournament so far, there have been a few games that have been washed out, while others have been affected by rain. The rain will be a headache for the knockout matches, but the organisers have done their homework, and there is extra time if it rains.

What will happen if SA vs AFG Clash gets washed out?

Explained What will happen if SA vs AFG semi final 1 gets washed out
SA vs AFG Semi Final Rain Rule

There have been two different rules for the two semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The second semi-final between India and England, which is scheduled to take place on Thursday, will have an extra 260 minutes available to complete the game. As it is a morning match, the wait in case of rain can be done for another 260 minutes after the scheduled time.

But that’s now the case in the SA vs AFG semi-final. The first semifinal will start at 8:30 p.m. local time. If the match is not completed on the scheduled day, then the first semifinal has a reserve day. That means the game will take place on Thursday. Notably, 190 minutes are given to complete the game on reserve day. If both teams can’t play 20 overs, then a minimum of 10 overs are needed to get the result.

Who will qualify for semi-final if the rain swips away both semi-finals?

Well, it looks a bit impossible that the rain can spoil both semi-finals. But you can guarantee the weather in West Indies during this time. So if both semi-finals get washed out, then India and South Africa will qualify for the finals. Both teams finished their respective groups at the top, and on the basis of the Super 8 rankings, these two teams will qualify, and Afghanistan and England will be eliminated.
