Can India beat England to reach the T20 World Cup final? Greenstone Lobo makes a bold prediction
If rain stops play on the scheduled day, the match will continue or be repeated the next day. There is also extra time, 90 minutes on the main day and 120 minutes on the alternate day. In the final, both days have 120 minutes of overtime.Both teams must bat at least 10 overs for the result to be declared. If this does not happen, play will resume from the same score on the reserve day. However, if the match still cannot be completed even after the reserve day, then the team that finished higher in the Super 8 stage qualifies for the finals.This is where things get tricky for India. India finished second in their Super 8 group, while England topped their group by winning all three matches. So if the semi final of India Vs. England completely outmatched, England go through to the final.In the second semi-final, South Africa finished above New Zealand in their group. So if this match is abandoned, South Africa will advance to the final. The final is scheduled for March 8 in Ahmedabad, the reserve day is March 9. Now fans will be hoping that the rain stays away from these key matches.
