New Delhi: Weather is set to play a crucial role once again in the ongoing ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Rain threatens to spoil the highly anticipated Super Eight clash between India and Bangladesh at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound this Saturday.
The Indian team delivered an amazing performance against Afghanistan in their Super 8 opening match. Considering records between both the teams, India has always outplayed Bangladesh, but still in T20 format no opponent is as easy one.
Will rain play spoilsport in Antigua during the India vs Bangladesh match on June 22?
The Super Eight clash between India and Bangladesh is scheduled to take place on Saturday, and is likely to be affected by rain.
According to Accuweather.com, scattered thunderstorms are expected in the morning, potentially arriving between 10 AM and 11:30 AM local time (7:30 PM to 9 PM IST). The afternoon also holds the possibility of additional thunderstorms, casting a shadow over the day’s play.
What will happen if India vs Bangladesh match gets washed out?
Since there is no reserve day allocated for the Super Eight round of the T20 World Cup 2024, both the teams will have to settle for one point each. If the match gets washed out, then the race for the semifinal will get more tight and interesting. India will face Australia next while Bangladesh will lock horns against Afghanistan in their last respective Super Eight fixtures and it would be a must-win for both the sides.
