What Happens If IND vs ENG Is Delayed Due To Rain? Cut Off Timings And More

IND vs ENG: India is set to face England in the second semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2024 in Guyana on Thursday, June 27. The Indian team is aiming for payback after their significant loss to Jos Buttler's squad, who defeated them by 10 wickets in a lopsided semi-final match during the same tournament in Adelaide.

India has been playing with a bold and aggressive style, demonstrated by their recent commanding victory over Australia in the Super 8 stage. However, inclement weather in Georgetown could potentially disrupt what promises to be an exciting match.

What Happens If IND vs ENG Is Delayed?

Weather conditions in Georgetown, Guyana, ahead of the second semi-final have been unfavorable. Rainfall overnight persisted into the morning of the match day, leaving the outfield soaked as the ground staff couldn't fully cover the ground. Nonetheless, the drainage system at Providence Stadium in Guyana is reputedly among the best in the Caribbean.

There is no reserve day scheduled for the second semi-final. However, an additional 250 minutes of playtime is allocated to ensure the game can be completed on Thursday in Guyana.

Why isn't there a reserve day for the second T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final? With the final slated for 10:30 am on Saturday in Barbados, the ICC opted not to schedule a reserve day for the second semi-final in Guyana.

What Is The Cut-Off Time For IND vs ENG?

What are the cut-off time and the minimum number of overs required for a result? The cut-off time for a 20-over match has been extended until 12:10 am IST (Friday). The provision of 250 additional minutes ensures that officials can wait until midnight (IST) to start a full 40-over match.

Unlike other matches, overs won't start being deducted until 12:10 am, which is four hours and 10 minutes after the scheduled start time.
