The teams will meet in the second T20 World Cup semi-final in Guyana on Thursday after India beat Australia by 24 runs to win their Super Eights group
Teams meet in second semi-final in Guyana on ThursdayEngland will face an unbeaten India side in Guyana on Thursday after the teams for the second semi-final of the men’sagainst Australia in Saint Lucia on Monday – a seventh successive win in the tournament, with the India captain, Rohit Sharma, scoring 92 from 41 balls – means they will now top the first of the two Super Eight groups.
Logistics for the knockout stage of the tournament have always been contingent on whether India finished first or second in their Super Eight group after the InternationalCouncil guaranteed they would play in Guyana if they progressed. While the decision has a clear commercial upside – the 10.30am local time start will attract a greater television audience in India – it has raised questions about sporting integrity.
Another issue is the weather, with the rainy season under way in the Caribbean. The first semi-final in Trinidad has a reserve day set aside, while the Guyana semi-final has no reserve day but 250 minutes of additional time allotted to ensure a result. While group games in this tournament could be as little as five overs per side, the threshold for a completed match is raised to 10 overs per side in the knockout stage. If either semi-final is abandoned due to weather without a result, the team that finished top in their respective Super Eight group will progress to the final.
