The Super Eight stage of the T20 World Cup concluded with a thrilling match between Afghanistan and Bangladesh, resulting in Afghanistan securing the final spot in the semi-finals. This victory knocked out Australia from the tournament, leaving us with four semi-finalists. South Africa will face Afghanistan in the first semi-final, while India will take on England in the second semi-final.
The first semi-final between South Africa and Afghanistan is scheduled to start at 8.30pm local time on Wednesday, June 26 at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba. The second semi-final between India and England will be held at 10.30am local time on Thursday, June 27 at Guyana’s Providence Stadium. India’s semi-final match will take place at 8pm India time on June 27.
The playing conditions for the two semi-finals differ significantly. While the first semi-final will have a reserve day with additional playing time allocated, the second semi-final will not have a reserve day. Both semi-finals require a minimum of 10 overs per innings to constitute a complete match, unlike the rest of the tournament which requires only five overs per innings.
Given the forecast for rain at both venues, there is a real possibility that matches could be affected by weather conditions. If either match is washed out or abandoned due to poor weather, fans can stay updated on any developments through downloading the official app.
