IND vs ENG, Guyana Weather Report Live: Heavy Rain Washes Out Semi-Final Clash
In an unfortunate turn of events, the highly anticipated semi-final clash between India and England at the T20 World Cup 2024 has been heavily affected by severe weather conditions in Guyana. The match, scheduled to take place at the Providence Stadium on Thursday, has been washed out due to incessant rain and thunderstorms.
Accuweather had initially predicted “intervals of clouds and sunshine with a couple of showers, mainly early in the day.” However, the weather has taken a drastic turn with heavy rain continuing throughout the day, making it impossible for the game to proceed.
Given the lack of a reserve day for this crucial fixture, the International Cricket Council (ICC) now faces the challenging task of deciding how to proceed. With no immediate window available for rescheduling, the likelihood of the match being cancelled is high. According to tournament rules, if the match is washed out, India, being the unbeaten team, will advance to the final.
The conditions at Providence Stadium were expected to be spin-friendly, with the pitch likely to get slower as the game progressed. However, the persistent rain has left the pitch damp, which could have made batting easier had the game gone ahead.
The ICC is expected to make an official announcement soon regarding the fate of the match and the subsequent proceedings of the tournament. Fans and players alike await this decision with bated breath, hoping for a fair and timely resolution.
