What happens if the rain cancels the India vs. Bangladesh T20 World Cup match?


Accuweather reports that there is a high risk of thunderstorms between 10 and 11 AM (local time: 7.30 to 8.30 pm IST) with a 46–51% chance of rain.


Tuesday, June 4, 2024, at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, rain pauses an ICC Men's T20 World Cup cricket match between England and Scotland. Ground personnel cover the ground.


The second Super match of the current ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 between Rohit Sharma-led India and Najmul Hossain Shanto-led Bangladesh will take place on June 22 at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Saint George, Antigua & Barbuda.


The Indian cricket team is looking to win to guarantee a spot in the semi-final after beating Afghanistan by 47 runs in the first Super 8 match on June 20 in Barbados. For Bangladesh, however, it's a make-or-break game since they lost their last Super 8 match against Australia by 28 runs.


Based on past T20 World Cup statistics, India has emerged victorious from all four of their encounters with Bangladesh.


Rain this time might, however, undermine the strategy.


Accuweather reports that there is a high risk of thunderstorms between 10 and 11 AM (local time: 7.30 to 8.30 pm IST) with a 46–51% chance of rain. It is possible to rule out a washout in Antigua, however. With the possibility of "partly cloudy" skies as evening approaches, an approximate humidity of 80% is predicted.


If the contest gets washed out, what happens?

Even though there are extremely few opportunities, both teams will get a point if the game is called off due to inclement weather. India will top the table with one more point, but their prospects of advancing to the semifinals will also be diminished. India will play for the third Super 8 match on June 24 and must defeat Australia to advance to the semi-finals.


India would not advance to the semifinals if they lose to Australia and Bangladesh wins their Super 8 match against Afghanistan.


Live score for India against Bangladesh: Indian squads include Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wk), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, Sanju Samson, and Yashasvi Jaiswal.


Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan, Jaker Ali, Tanvir Islam, Shoriful Islam, Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman, Litton Das (wk), Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Mahmudullah, Rishad Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, and Mahmudullah.


In a single day, 3.6 crore Indians came to see us, deciding that we were the indisputable platform for the country's general election results.
