The explanation behind that’s the timing of the 2 matches, the place the South Africa vs Afghanistan match in Trinidad is a day-night sport (begins 8:30 pm native time, June 26) and the India vs England semifinal in Guyana is a day affair (begins 10:30 am native time, June 27).

June 28 is the journey day for the 2 groups that make it to the ultimate, which will probably be performed on Barbados on June 29. So if the day-night match between SA and Afghanistan cannot be accomplished due to rain, it spills over to the reserve day on June 27. However as a result of June 28 is a journey day, the India vs England day match on June 27 should be accomplished on the identical day, and for that nearly 4 further hours have been allotted to the second semifinal.
Based on accuweather.com, the forecast for Thursday morning in Guyana has 88% likelihood of rain and an 18% likelihood of thunderstorms.
In case rain performs spoilsport, the second semifinal could have one other 250 minutes, which supplies umpires eight hours to complete the match.
Nevertheless, within the eventuality that rain results in abandonment of the match, then the crew that completed larger in ‘Tremendous 8s’ will progress to the ultimate. This taking part in situation applies to each the semi-finals.
Primarily based on the above, if there isn’t a outcome attainable in each the semi-finals, then India, who topped Group 1, and South Africa, who topped Group 2, will advance to the title conflict.
