On Saturday, june 29, india will take against south africa in the t20 world cup 2024 final. Rain is predicted to have an impact on the game in barbados, just as it did against england in the semi-finals in Guyana. The match lacked a reserve day, thus the international cricket Council added 250 minutes to the allotted time for the semi-final. However, what about the outcome? What will happen on june 29 at Kensington Oval in barbados if play is cancelled due to rain?

The game is anticipated to be significantly shortened by rain, although it is anticipated to start around 10:30 AM local time. The extra time is scheduled to stay the same as the competition semi-final in accordance with the ICC guidelines for the match. This means that even after a 4-hour and 10-minute delay from the start time, the whole game can still go place. This implies that a game of cricket may start at 12:10 AM indian Standard Time and last for 20 overs each side.
 

Even if the final isn't a full 20-over match, the organisers' goal is to complete the match on Saturday, according to ICC regulations.
 
In order to try to get a result on that day, the umpires will use the extra time that is available and, if needed, shorten the number of overs, if play is halted on the scheduled day. According to the ICC standards, "the umpires shall aim to maximise play on the scheduled day of the match in order to achieve a result on that day, as if there was no Reserve Day available." This includes considerations about the ground, weather, and light.
 

Only when both sides play a minimum of 10 overs apiece can a result be achieved. The game will now take place on Sunday, june 30 if the rain prevents any play at all.
