Current weather forecast in Guyana (X.com)
In a piece of major news coming just about two and a half hours ago before the much-anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final match between India and England, heavy rain has arrived in Guyana, where, at Providence Stadium, the high-octane contest is scheduled to be played.
Although rain was thought to be interrupted during the India versus England fixture, which, of course, is a rematch of last edition’s semi-final. For those who remember correctly, India were bulldozed that time around, losing the fixture by all 10 wickets in a humiliating manner after posting 168/6 on the board while batting first.

What If IND Vs ENG Gets Called Off Due To Rain
To allow Indian fans to breathe a sigh of relief, the Men in Blue, under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, will reach the final if weather does not permit any action whatsoever. India, due to their top-of-the table finish in their group in Super 8, will advance. England, behind South Africa, finished second in their group.
Notably, umpires will wait a maximum of 250 minutes from the scheduled time (10:30 AM local time, 8:00 PM IST) to see whether a 10-over game can be possible. There is no reserve day either, which means defending champions England, considering the current weather update, are in danger.
