Team India remains unbeaten in the T20 World Cup 2024. India has taken its place at second in the points table of Group-1 after winning its first match in Super-8 against Afghanistan, while Australia holds the first position due to net rate. Today, the second match of the Super-8 is played between India and Bangladesh. After that, the last game in this stage is with Australia. Now, India will have to win both matches; otherwise, it may be out of the tournament without playing in the semi-finals. The biggest reason behind this is the weather in Guyana because heavy rain is expected there on June 27. And India will have to play its match on that day in Guyana if it reaches the semi-finals.

The Indian team can qualify for the semi-finals by winning two matches in the Super-8 of T20 World Cup 2024. In this case, the Bangladesh team will lose two games. If Australia wins the second match on Sunday, the second match will be lost to Afghanistan. Bangladesh and Afghanistan will be out of the semi-final race this way and won't be able to get 4 points when they win the last match, too. At the same time, the semi-finals will be reached by India and Australia with 4-4 points.

The match of Group-1, India vs. Australia, in the T20 World Cup 2024 Super-8 is scheduled on St. Lucia 24th June. As far as the situation has been going on in Group 1 until now, it looks like both the teams will play these matches against each other after winning 2-2 games. The winner of this match will make it to the semi-finals by staying on top and will face the team ranked second in Group 2. At the same time, the team ranked second from Group 1 will face the topper of Group 2. Now, the need for India is to top the group so that in the semifinals, it can face number 2 of the other group. It also does not carry any risk of getting eliminated on account of rain.

The ICC had already decided before the tournament that if it rains and the semi-finals are canceled, then the team at the top of the Super-8 points table shall be considered the winner, and the Loser shall be out.

The ICC had already decided before T20 World Cup 2024 that if India reaches the semi-finals, its match will take place in Guyana. This game is going to be played on June 27, at 8 pm in Indian time. The most essential thing is that no reserve day has been kept for this match. If it rains during the game, then extra time of 4 hours and 10 minutes will be given to complete the game. If even 10-10 overs are not played then the game will be cancelled. According to weather.com, the weather in Guyana for the next few days will be terrible. The possibility of 73 percent rain in Guyana is a day before the match and 72 percent on the day of the game on 27 June. Not only that, but thunderstorms are also expected to occur in Guyana. Along with this, winds will blow at a speed of 8 kilometers per hour.
