The India vs England T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final is under severe rain threat. It has been raining in Guyana for the last few days and it is almost seen as a certainty that rain will hamper the India vs England match. Team India is seemingly in a no-harm position. If the play goes underway, the men-in-blue would look to take revenge on England for the 2022 T20 World Cup semi-final loss and barge into the final as prime contenders. On the other hand, if the rain washes out the match completely, then India would seamlessly advance to the final courtesy of their top finish in the Group 1 standings in the Super Eight stage.

IND vs ENG: At what time the overs will start to cut in India vs England T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final encounter
It should be noted that there is no provision for a reserve day attached to the IND vs ENG semi-final 2. ICC has spared an additional 250 minutes for the match. Hence, if the match does not start at the scheduled time of 8 PM, the officials will wait for 4 hours and 10 minutes. At any moment during this span, if conditions become conducive for play, then a full 40-over game will be played. However, in the case otherwise, overs will start to cut from 12:10 AM IST. A minimum of 10 overs per side game is imperative. Thus, every possible effort will be made for the play to be carried out.

It was the most important match in the history of Afghanistan's cricket existence and it could be said that nerves got the better of them.
